Gold FFM C8RKH Posted January 5, 2021 Gold FFM Report Share Posted January 5, 2021 I had heard Scalextric were thinking of doing a V8 Esprit too but the damn thing kept stopping around the track and proved too expensive to tool right. 1 Quote Alcohol.

Jacques Posted January 9, 2021 Report Share Posted January 9, 2021 I for one, will buy both. For sure! And any other Esprit they may make. Kind regards, jacques Quote Nobody does it better - than Lotus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gold FFM tomcattom Posted January 11, 2021 Author Gold FFM Report Share Posted January 11, 2021 Looks like a the S1 is slated for release in the Summer and the JPS S2 in the Autumn. I wonder if the FYEO or Essex turbos are going to follow in the not too distant future too? Quote Norfolk Mustard S4s #1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacques Posted February 4, 2021 Report Share Posted February 4, 2021 Now ordered. Looking forward to the SE, the Sport300 and the B8's plus as mentioned by Tom, the Essex. Cheers, Jacques 2 Quote Nobody does it better - than Lotus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gold FFM tomcattom Posted February 4, 2021 Author Gold FFM Report Share Posted February 4, 2021 Slightly better picture of the planned JPS is now on the Scalextric site. 2 Quote Norfolk Mustard S4s #1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gold FFM Popular Post tomcattom Posted January 10 Author Gold FFM Popular Post Report Share Posted January 10 Not received the first two Esprits yet, but I've just pre-ordered the FYEO Esprit that's just been announced in Scalextric's 2022 collection 🙂 https://uk.scalextric.com/products/james-bond-lotus-esprit-turbo-your-eyes-only-c4301? 3 Quote Norfolk Mustard S4s #1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephenwhyte Posted January 10 Report Share Posted January 10 Looks decent but I’m sure they could’ve done a better job with the front bumper design! The rear lip spoiler looks a bit lacking in the pic shown too. Pity when you look at the detail of the wheels, and the body generally…..but overall nice to see😎 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gold FFM tomcattom Posted January 10 Author Gold FFM Report Share Posted January 10 That might not be the final render. The JPS car picture wasn't very good when first announced back in January last year, but a subsequent release of an updated image later in the year looked much better, so hopefully the inaccuracies on this will be addressed before release later this year. Either way it's nice to be able to add another Esprit to my Scalextric collection 1 Quote Norfolk Mustard S4s #1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oneshot Posted January 11 Report Share Posted January 11 Did you watch the series about Hornby? They own Scalextric - it showed how the designers make the models and the lengths they go to to get the accuracy right. Indeed they made a model of a Formula E car and used the actual design drawings of the real car to make the model. 1 Quote Dave - 2000 Sport 350 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
