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.

Lamborghini Veneno

There is good news and there's bad news. The good news is that the 2013 Lamborghini Veneno is out. The bad news? Lamborghini has limited its production to 3 this year and they are already spoken for.
So you can put away that extra $3.9 million, at least, until next year. The name Veneno is derived from the bull-fighting arena. Veneno is an apt name for the vehicle as it represents one of the most aggressive and strongest of bulls. It is a 50th anniversary model.

Exterior
 
The front of this super car includes a fully functional aerodynamic wing allowing for air flow to pass through the hood. You can't miss the half Y headlamps running from top to bottom on each side of the car's front. The wheel arches are huge and the rear wing is adjustable. The taillights match the front beams in design.
Hidden is the quartet of exhaust pipes. Six wedge shaped openings in the engine cover allow for cooling of the massive motor. The grey metallic look of the carbon fiber body will be stylized with one of the colors from Italy's national flag.

Interior

Carbon fiber is used in the interior. This is clearly visible on the sills and central tunnel. Forged composite, a technology unique to Lamborghini, makes up the 2 lightweight bucket seats.
The dashboard contains an all new instrument display prominently displaying the new "G Meter" that relays to the driver of everything you need to know to insure an enjoyable ride.
