Brand: Thames & Kosmos

Car nuts and engineers of all ages, gear up for an epic automotive adventure! Build your very own model race car from the inside out. As you snap each piece into place, you’ll uncover the amazing secrets of how cars steer, shift, and speed through the streets. You will create a working four-speed manual transmission with reverse and neutral, a drive wheel torque differential for better traction and handling around curves, shock absorbing suspensions, and of course a visible V8 engine complete with a crankshaft, pistons, and exhaust fan. An adjustable steering wheel can be installed for left- or right-hand side driving. The sleek vintage design is sure to impress. A 40-page full-color manual guides the build and teaches key mechanical engineering concepts like gears and engines.

Features:

• BUILD YOUR OWN RACE CAR MODEL: Kids ages 10 and up can assemble a working, motorized race car model and discover how real automobiles work as they snap together the durable components.
• OBSERVE THE V8 ENGINE: Mechanical engineering comes to life through the car’s detailed V8 engine - complete with a crankshaft, pistons, and exhaust fan - that is completely visible, even as the car runs!
• REAL MECHANICS TO EXPLORE: The expertly engineered model also includes a working four-speed manual transmission with reverse and neutral, a drive wheel torque differential for better traction and handling around curves, shock-absorbing suspensions, and left- and right-hand drive steering.
• FUN, FUNCTIONAL & EDUCATIONAL: The sleek, vintage design will appeal to car enthusiasts of all ages, and the detailed 40-page, illustrated manual guides users step by step, explaining key mechanical engineering concepts along the way.
• IMPRESSIVE BUILD & PLAY VALUE: This kit offers 2 to 3 hours of rewarding build time, followed by repeatable experiments and open-ended play.
