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 Chevrolet Mi-ray Roadster Concept



The 2011 Chevrolet Mi-ray Roadster Concept lives up to the definition of its Korean name. The car is undoubtedly ultramodern in terms of design and capabilities.

The car looks like it could be used in futuristic movies. With this car it’s all about the exterior qualities. The body is made of carbon fiber-reinforced plastic, and the side has an angled character line with lighting underneath. This feature creates a streak of light when the car is moving.
To keep up with this Chevrolet’s inclination to modernism, Le Mans racer-style scissor doors have been installed. The 20-inch front and 21-inch rear wheels are made of aluminum-carbon fiber.

The Chevrolet Mi-Ray takes inspiration from fighter jets and it sticks with this theme from the exterior to interior design. It is dressed in natural leather, liquid metal surfaces and brushed aluminum. The center touch screen controls other features such as GPS and retractable cameras.

The car is a hybrid. It was exactly meant for speed, but for fuel-efficiency. The Roadster comes with the innovative mid-electric propulsion system. The car itself is powered by two 15-kW electric motors that reduce emissions in urban settings. The engines absorb energy from 1.6-kWh lithium-ion battery that makes use of regenerative breaking energy to recharge.


Word about the 2011 Chevrolet Mi-ray Roadster Concept’s price and date of release has not been announced. The Roadster was created in commemoration of Chevrolet’s 100 years of exquisite design and beyond par performance in automobiles.
