Caterham has released today this Caterham Superlight R500 scale model that has none other than BBC Top Gear’s The Stig behind the wheel. The 1:16 Caterham Superlight R500 scale model is in fact a radio controlled car which seems like a good Christmas gift idea. The car is available in two colors, white with a red stripe or a yellow and black combination. The two Caterham Superlight R500 scale models come with different radio frequencies to allow owners to race each other.
The Caterham Superlight R500 scale model price is 19.99 GBP and is available from Marks & Spencer.
The full size version of the Caterham Superlight R500 scale model has been awarded the Car of the Year award for 2008 by BBC's Top Gear.
Caterham Press Release:
The Caterham Superlight R500 may be small and lightweight, and on many a petrolheads’ wish list, but only now is it tiny enough to fit into a Christmas stocking.
Caterham Cars’ most rapid road-going vehicle has been recreated to scale complete with remote control and BBC Top Gear’s The Stig behind the wheel.
The miniature Caterham R500 celebrates the model’s star turn on BBC Top Gear last December.
The full size version demonstrated its blistering speed around the programme’s famous test track, recording one of the fastest ever laps, and scooping the show’s coveted Car of the Year award for 2008.
At 1:16 scale, with full function radio control, the model makes for an ideal gift for anyone over the age of 8 years.
Not only is the Caterham R500 available in two
colours - the famous white and red stripe, plus the yellow and black combination - but both are on separate radio frequencies, allowing owners to race each other.
Exclusively sold from Marks & Spencer stores nationwide, the remote controlled Caterham R500 is priced ÂŁ19.99.
