1:32 Scale Carrera BMW 320 Turbo Flachbau Team Schnitzer No.55 DRM 1980 Analog Slot Car Racing Vehicle

The BMW 320 Turbo Flachbau 'Team Schnitzer, No.55' made a significant impact on racing history in 1980. That year, Hans Joachim Stuck decided to shift his focus from Formula 1 to the German Motor Racing Championship (DRM) and found success with the BMW 320 Turbo flat-build version. With nine of these cars equipped with 1.4-litre turbo engines producing around 450-hp, they dominated races by outperforming traditional induction engine cars.

One of the memorable races in 1980 was the smaller car division race at Norisring, where Hans Heyer's Lancia Beta Montecarlo crashed on lap 6 after breaking its brake discs. Despite facing tough competition, Stuck managed to secure an overall 2nd place by the end of the season driving the BMW.

The 1:32 scale analog slot car version of the BMW 320 Turbo Flachbau Team Schnitzer No.55 DRM 1980 is a true delight for racing enthusiasts. It is powered by an inline E200 motor and comes with replaceable double contact brushes to ensure maximum contact with the slot car track. The downforce magnets installed underneath the car enable quick cornering and excellent handling on the track.

What sets this Carrera Evolution car apart is its high-quality tampo-printing that accurately replicates the original car design. Not only does the exterior look stunning, but the interior and the driver figure inside are also superbly detailed. Additionally, this 1:32 scale slot car is compatible with all Carrera Evolution tracks and can be easily upgraded to a digital car by adding a digital decoder (sold separately).

Overall, the BMW 320 Turbo Flachbau Team Schnitzer No.55 DRM 1980 slot car is a must-have for collectors and enthusiasts alike, offering a perfect blend of performance and aesthetics for an unforgettable racing experience.
