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.

In this way, HB has managed to maintain the same performance level with reduced fuel consumption. You can choose between two different versions of the 2.0-liter engine. The standard version is delivers 170 horsepower; the Cosworth version produces more horsepower at 255. Both engines will be helped by a six speed manual gearshift.  


Renderings

The Company will manufacture three versions of the car. The HB Coupe Classic and the HB Coupe Road Racer, the first two are intended for road use; while the HB Coupe RACE version is solely for racetrack use only. The latter includes a safety roll cage as well as a customizable fuel cell. All three types feature a lightweight, carbon monocoque frame that weighs in at just less than 364 pounds.  

Ordering 

An initial reservation form can be completed free of charge. This will reserve a production slot for thirty days, after which buyers will be required to pay a deposit or lose their slot. Payment of the deposit secures the manufacturing slot, and the deposit will be refundable if the buyer cancels before production starts. A second payment must be made to continue production. This phase will include a purchase contract detailing all the options chosen. The final payment is due on delivery.
