These look to be coming in the next month or so. They look fantastic. Be sure to pre-order.

Too cool. I have been told that they are already sold out to dealers...so I would get one if you want one.
I will have at least one if not both for the road course.

The exterior detail on these 1/24 cars is great, but the inside stymies me. Why go through all of the trouble to make a car pretty enough to admire in its case (let alone on the track) and then not give it a full interior? I realize that Carrera 1/32 are all half-tray or so because of the inline configuration, but am I wrong in thinking that the same reason doesn't play here since the scale pushes the interior well ahead of where the motor would end?
I do not own any 1/24 cars, but would appreciate insight in to them. I really don't understand this and am not trying to bash Carrera. Thanks.

Correct, they are easily programmed for analog.

Why half interior? Because there has to be room for the digital chip.
