The engines are roaring, the alclad bottles are trembling, the brushes have their hair standing on end, and... our legs are shaking!! Hobby Design announced this week the Murcielago engine in 1/24 scale, that you can now preorder at SpotModel. It's not the first, and it won't be the last, since the 430 engine will arrive very soon, and many, many more. Don't forget that they're all 200 units limited editions and you can miss yours, and then... then you're legs will be REALLY shaking!! :DAnother roaring ones are the Mini Z, those small remote controlled cars that use the decorations from MZ Decals (worthy pupil of Studio27) that you can now order at the store.
And more thrilling novelties: a very interesting Reji transkit of the Impreza version of the Catalunya Rally 2000, several carbon fibre patterns for the brutal MP4-12C y SLS AMG GT3 sportcars (those REALLY roar...), and the forbidden tobacco decals for Rainey's Yamaha, the Williams FW16 and the Lotus 97T and 99T.

The differences are small, and it takes a trained eye to spot them, but the Impreza WRCs have undergone small changes over the years. In the 2000 season, the air intakes on the hood, front bumper, or roof were modified compared to previous years. With this Reji Models transkit, which includes all these modifications and more, such as the exhaust line, the front spoiler or the rear wing with a much more developed shape, you will be able to reproduce in full detail the versions that raced in the rallies of Catalonia and San Remo 2000, with Richard Burns (number #3) as the starting driver in both rallies, accompanied by Kankkunen in Catalonia and Simon Jean-Joseph in San Remo in the team's second unit (number #4).
