Assemble me. Burn tires! Introducing the Drift Cobra Racing Car—our twist on what may be the most revered sports car of all time: the Shelby Cobra 427. The Cobra 427, produced between 1965-67, had a 7.0 litre 450-510 horsepower engine, did 0-60 mph in just over 4 seconds, and had a top speed of 185 mph. Carroll Shelby, a former race car driver and automotive designer, was hired by the Ford Motor Co. to develop a high-performance racer able to compete with the dominant Italian race team of Ferrari. The Americans' four consecutive victories at the prestigious Le Mans 24-hour race between 1966-69, in Ford GT40s, is the stuff of legend. The Ugears Drift Cobra racing car has the fastest team of horses under the hood of any mechanical wooden model we know. The model is wound by means of a ratchet knob under the chassis. Before winding your 3-D wooden Drift Cobra model racing car, move the air filter that protrudes from the hood toward the windshield, and flip the switch in front of the passenger-side seat into the Lock position (parallel to the door). Now twist the ratchet underneath the car's body. After 6 to 6.5 turns of the knob the spring is fully loaded, and — vroom! vroom! — your racer is ready to roar! To put the model in "drift mode," turn the front wheels fully to one side or the other, set it down on a smooth surface such as tile, and watch as the model peels out in a sideways skid. Drift Cobra features: Beautifully styled, two-seat mechanical convertible Powered by a spring motor Reverse, Neutral, Drive, and Drift modes Drift mode activated by turning the front wheels Covers up to 8 meters (26 feet) per full winding Moving parts: doors, hood, and trunk Wooden car features: Pre-laser-cut parts on wooden boards Assembles without glue or tools Includes step-by-step instructions in 11 languages Free spare parts upon request
