Scalextric American Cars

The American car selection from Scalextric contains some of the biggest gas-guzzlers in American history. The classic Ford Mustang was a well-liked car in its day, and still proves to be popular across younger audiences today. Production for the original car began in 1964 and Ford is now onto its fifth generation. The mustang has been a popular choice for racers and has proved highly successful through the decades.

The Chevrolet Corvette is a true muscle car. It has been used in many races up to present day but is well known for the ‘Pony Car Wars’, where they went head to head with the Ford Mustang during the US Trans-Am race series from 1966 to 1972.

Scalextric have developed some great NASCAR vehicles that reproduce the fantastic detail of the original cars. NASCAR stands for The National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing and features some seriously high performing machines. Cars race around an oval circuit virtually bumper to bumper. The aim is to come first, but getting there proves highly difficult as the combination of racing in tight packs and the high speed can easily cause a major accident. NASCAR is currently one of the most popular sports in America, and has been for many years. The Indianapolis Speedway is capable of holding a whopping 250,000 spectators!
