Carrera dominated the German markets in the 1960s and 1970s, due to using an additional third wire, and effective marketing, also at the nearby Nuremberg International Toy Fair.

In the 1970, Carrera offered 1:24, 1:32 and 1:60 scales for slot cars, and the slot-free "Servo" systems which allowed cars to switch lanes, guided by the guard rails on the outside. Due to the many systems offered, and fewer customers (Generation), Neuhierl had to sell his company in 1985, and took his own life. The new owners sold rather cheap products.

2011 Joss JP1


Australia could hardly be seen in the map of car manufacturing. But this year, the land down under has released the country’s first super car, the 2011 Joss JP1. Developed by the Joss Development, this car is set to be sold in the market by early 2012. Last July 1-10 the car has been showcased internationally and is the final prototype of this car set to be sold by year 2012.
When it comes to aesthetics, the car doesn’t stand out that much. With the body styling very much like any other supercar, there’s not much to see exteriorly on this car. But on the brighter side, the design of this car is already an acquired taste so no matter how much it looks the same as other supercars, people will still love it. But the lack of design ingenuity is compensated by its performance. The car is designed to provide powerful engines rather than have it look sexy and spicy.
The production version of this supercar is said to be powered by a V8 engine which can spike the horsepower to up to 500, mated to a six-speed manual transmission. This powerful engine can take you from 0-62 mph in less than three seconds with a top speed of 211 miles per hour. With that being said, this supercar will take the year 2012, fast.
