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.

Novitec Rosso Ferrari 458 Spider

The designer kit by Novitec Rosso, created for Ferrari's 458 Spider model, includes super-lightweight forged wheels, 609 hp, 202 mph top speed and a carbon aero kit that makes the Spider even faster and a lot more dynamic.
Among the upgrades include a unique, staggered 21" and 22" forged wheel combo with a new suspension system that includes the ability to make ride-height adjustments hydraulically, power increase, and a new high performance exhaust system.

Novitec Rosso makes further customization available by offering features like black lamps and custom-tailored interiors.


Aerodynamic Carbon Fiber

Carbon fiber isn't just used for F1 racing car enhancements; it is also the material of choice for Novitec Rosso's upgrades to the 458 Spider. The carbon fiber kit offers a high level of aerodynamic efficiency as well as an impressive new look.

The front fascia has been upgraded with a 2-piece front spoiler and includes side flaps that allow for reduced lift while travelling at high speeds. The wings and ventilation grill in the front have also been molded out of carbon fiber to enhance the sleek new look. Carbon fiber skirts also give the side of the slick 2-seater an even sportier appearance.

On the rear, the bezel that surrounds the fogs lamps, and the diffuser, has also been upgraded to carbon fiber components. Optional carbon fiber upgrades include rear spoiler, rear wings and black side markers.

NF4


The new wheels are the perfect combination of visual beauty and stunning aerodynamics. In the 458 Spider kit, king-sized tires have been offered to give the sports car a typical Ferrari wedge-shaped appearance. The 21" and 22" tire/wheel combos, though large in size are extremely lightweight thanks to the delicate double-spoked design on the wheels.
PZero high performance tires are supplied by Pirelli in 255/30 ZR 21 on the front and 335/25 ZR 22 on the back. Alternatively, the popular NF3 wheels in diameters 20-22" remain an available option.

Suspension

At the press of a button, the 458 Spider front suspension can now be raised by 4cm to navigate past curbs or traverse underground parking garages with ease. As it reaches 50 mph, the high-tech hydraulic system automatically re-adjusts itself so the front reverts back to its original height.
