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.

2012 Mercedes-Benz CLS550


Mercedes Benz has always been known to stir the imagination with high quality cars that possess a combination of luxury and speed. Among their recent models, only a few have created a larger stir than their CLS. Best known for being a “4 door coupe”, its styling has been well received by both fans and critics alike.

When the new generation of the CLS was unveiled late in 2010, it had quite huge shoes to fill. After all, more than 170,000 CLS models have been sold in a span of six years, and on the process created a new styling niche that is completely theirs.

Exterior & Interior


Sure, the 2012 Mercedes-Benz CLS550 retains that 4 door coupe styling that made it so popular with the masses. But this car is a completely new model that is designed to build on the strong tradition of the original. A front end that is apparently inspired by the retro-inspired supercar SLS sets the tone for the new design. Still up front, the CLS is the first production car ever to use full LED lights on their headlight system. The same outline that made the CLS special was retained, but they are reformatted to present a smoother, more aggressive feel.

Performance

To round of the car, the interior is the recipient of a classic yet progressive arrangement from the seats down to the instruments, true to the tradition of Mercedes Benz. And a 5.5 liter twin turbo engine producing 402 horsepower provides the muscle for this muscular device. The 2011 Mercedes Benz CLS550 is on a class of its own, just like the modern legend that it replaced.
