Default Mini Cars

A while ago there was a huge thread made on the mini cars, where everyone was making photochops of their cars to look like mini cars.

What i didn't realise until this week was that there is a real version. The orange lambo (i think) and the silver s2000 are actually available to purchase ex usa.... There is a company making them, full fibreglass body on em, 17 x 8 wheels on em... All for a grand sum of $5500 aus dollars.... The guy i buy all my model cars and stuff from has all the paperwork on em.

He did tell me what type of motor they have, but i forget.

Dunno where you could drive em though.

So anyone interested in one?

I hated the aussie racing cars, I thought they'd be fast and cool.

Would mind a mini Lambo though

Not cheap!!! If you've got a spare $40k then go for it...

Cars are delivered in complete ready to race form with only the owners sponsor signage or livery requirements to be added. Cars are supplied with a chassis set up that is capable of allowing the driver (with the appropriate skill level of course) to win races. A car costs $40.000 (plus GST ) A small order deposit is required to confirm the order. .Progressive payments are required over the build. Build time is approx 16 weeks but is dependant on varying factors including but not limited to production load, series and race event scheduling, component supply, track test time availability. etc, etc.,
