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.

DC Design Avanti


The 2012 DC Avanti is the foundation for a new class of high end sports cars in India.
The vehicle itself is beyond the prototype stage and will be ready for production in 2013.

The model may not be as appealing to some in other countries that are used to far more power than the Avanti delivers but it is a milestone for the country for which the idea was born.

Performance

The powertrain is comprised of a six speed manual transmission and a four cylinder 2.0 Liter Ford EcoBoost engine. This motor is strong on fuel economy while delivering performance similar to 3.0 Liter engines with high torque and an impressive 240 horsepower.

The electronics are state of the art and ensure peak performance while offering impressive M.P.G. ratings. The vehicle will be light with a traditionally styled frame and specialized yet familiar suspension components to keep it tight and on the road for incredible handling.

Exterior

The body itself is artistic and animalistic in appearance. The lines and aggressive contours come across as this model being a miniature joint collaboration among the largest automotive super sports designers in the world yet it is not.


It is extremely attractive and vicious in how it looks letting you know it is fast and handles sharp curves with ease.

The Future

There are plans for an optional dual clutch six speed transmission but at this point a larger engine is not being considered. If this vehicle interests you but you are located in another country, The DC Avanti is Euro 4 and 5 compliant for export, though the first round of production will be set at 300.

The 2012 DC Avanti will make its mark on the automotive industry while opening the door for improvements to a first run vehicle that is already state of the art in its early production stage.
