The cars are based on the most popular models from 1934 and 1941. Each model will be available in 1:24 and 1:32 scale, as well as 1:32 digital – Carrera is the only slot car manufacturer to have them in 1:32 and 1:24 scale. And each model will feature one of three designs, ranging from aggressive paint jobs to exposed chrome engine blocks, headers, and exhaust. These distinctively styled cars feature in-demand colors and are the coolest models in the market. Launch Date: Spring 2006

The Carrera Custom Rods is a realistic street-racing set built on a 1:24 scale. As Lou Metri, owner of Joggin’ Your Noggin’ in Monroe, Conn., told TDmonthly, “Carrera is a German company that rates very well. Their slot-cars sets and models are very realistic.” The dimensions when assembled are 8.37' x 10.14', while the track length is 30.51' total.

Carrera will offer a set in the 1:43 GO!!! line featuring two cars from the movie, "Fast and Furious 3": a Nissan 350Z and a 1967 Ford Mustang GT350 (also known as the Bullitt car). Each car is available separately.  Each car can also be purchased separately to run on any Carrera 1:43 track for $14.99. Launch date: 2006.

This set features hot superhero action. This 1:43 scale set is a perfect way to introduce kids to the hobby. The basic set includes 18.7 feet of track and has two lane change sections and double looping. It also includes a turbo speed controller that provides a race boost.

Cars in this set are each fitted with a microprocessor, which allows the racer to run multiple cars on the same track, just like the real thing, with more bumper-to-bumper thrills and lane change capabilities. The set includes a digital power control unit and track sections within the layout.
