NEWS: Ford GT #4

Scalextric C2995 Ford GT #4
Polyphony Digital 'Gran Turismo'

Just released by Scalextric is the wicked looking Polyphony Digital Ford GT racing number 4. If you're a Gran Turismo fan (the racing series has sold more the 50 million copies Worldwide) you'll be aware of two things. One, that this particular Ford GT #4 is featured in the opening movie from Gran Turismo 4 (2005) and that Gran Turismo 5 is due for release prior to Christmas.

You can see the Scalextric Ford GT #4 in the below opening movie from Gran Turismo 4 opening movie, just FANTASTIC!



The Scalextric Model is a high build-quality specification with equal high performance straight out of the box and superior livery paintwork. The model Features;

  • High detail. Working lights fitted front and rear
  • Magnatraction and quick change braid plate
  • Digital ready chassis
  • Wide rear axle gives excellent road-holding attributes which will make this car a must for the racer

I think Scalextric have hit a home run with this release, it's bound to be very popular with slotters and fans of the Gran Turismo series alike. The wheels are a perfect match for the GT4 game car as are the decals and body work. There is a stunning looking all black Ford GT in Gran Turismo 5 Prologue so here's hoping Scalextric have that one on the radar for release.
