GM and Carrera news!

Postby DaveKennedy » Sun Jun 22, 2014 7:06 pm

Some excellent news to announce now since the CoA sales meeting. We have the GM license finalized so we will return with the C6.R Corvette, modern Camaro, Stingray Corvette, Pontiac Trans Am and in early 2015 we will produce the C7.R Corvette! The multiple year contract was finalized and new GM models will go into production THIS year.

Yes Stingray is the previous body mold with new chassis/wheels/tires and new deco for this year. It's the 427 hood as before... racing decos all the way this time though. So YES another classic for the Cheetah, Cobra, Porsche 904 to race with!

How about a red Dekon Monza, which should have been done already?.......

This is good news. Maybe some classic GM NASCARS would be a good idea, like a 1968-69 Chevelle.

On another note. I'm wondering if Carrera plans to produce any companion race cars along with the Porsche 904, as it was contemporary with the Cheetahs and Cobras but not in the same class.
