Auto Union Typ C-tron: electric 1:2 scale

The following toy, hand in hand, the evolution of automotive technology. And now for the reproduction of the car "true" comes the next generation of electric traction. The first example (in chronological order) comes from Germany. To be precise, from Audi. Which, these days, announced the imminent presentation of his Auto Union Typ C 1:2 scale and call-tron.

The model - or rather would say the work of art - will be shown a preview of the next edition of the Nuremberg Toy Fair, scheduled from 3 to 8 February. In this play, which follows a straight line in the famous Auto Union pedal (shown as a motor. It a few months ago, and already the subject of admiration of fans around the world), the Ingolstadt brand, which has been responsible larealizzazione , presents an evolution.

The baby car, measuring 2.37 meters long and 93 cm wide cockpit, is no longer assigned only to children (as the case of the car with pedals), but has been developed to accommodate an adult. The only limit to the pilot, the height, which shall not exceed 80 feet. There could therefore be potenzialmentemigliaia of customers for this exact replica of the 1936 version of the revolutionary car designed by Ferdinand Porsche in the race and taken by Bernd Rosemeyer (European champion that season), Achille Varzi, Hans Stuck.

The problem, if ever, will cover ... the portfolio. Auto Union Typ C-tron, in fact, the Audi did not disclose the price, but we can imagine that it will not be within reach of many pockets, since the pedal version costs € 13,800 well. However, we are faced with a small masterpiece. Entirely handcrafted, each item is built with the use of aluminum, wood, leather, fabric and plastics.

How to say "almost" the same car's "real." Behind the seat (lucky) driver, will find a small electric motor, which - obviously acting on the rear axle is powered by a lithium battery and provides an output of 1.5 hp and 40 Nm of torque. Soon? Not really, say "enough" to push the car on a scale of 1:2 to 30 km / h and ensure a range of about 30 km.

For recharging, it takes a couple of hours, through a common "catch" home.
