espo Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 I like the body design. I would build it as an ICE powered vehicle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gasman Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 This is the first model of a 100% electric car, would’ve rather had a Porsche Taycan, but this will do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Hall Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 Looking forward to this, looks better than the Taycan IMO.. I am surprised that we haven't had EV kits before now...a Tesla Model S or X would have been nice..maybe licensing issues. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niteowl7710 Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 Given that this is the same platform as the Taycan...so much so it's a Taycan with an Audi styling, I wonder if they'll consider the Porsche if this sells well enough. Will modelers actually buy an EV? I mean besides threatening to cut up a curbside model just to put some sort of GAAAAAASSS MOOOOTAAAR into it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbostream Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 Is this the only completely new tool from Revell Germany this year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, although I'm pretty sure they're considering the 442 to be a "new" kit as well, as RevellAG never sold a Euro-boxed version of any of the Convertible kits.

keyser Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 (edited) Needs a 4.0 F6 NA in it. In back. Wish they’d do a 992 GT3RS or 718 GT4RS. #notgonnahappen Edited September 5, 2022 by keyser Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelson Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 I like it alot!,will be buying a couple for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bennyg Posted September 6, 2022 Share Posted September 6, 2022 I’m getting a couple. The build process and parts layout look to be on point too. It also looks like they’ve sorted the sink marks in previous new releases. Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldcarfan Posted September 6, 2022 Share Posted September 6, 2022 Maybe I should get one and bring it full circle by putting the body on a battery powered R/C chassis! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Austin Posted September 6, 2022 Share Posted September 6, 2022 FWIW, there appear to be 1/24 scale diecast Teslas, even the tractor trailer truck. (That one is very expensive, however.) There also appear to be Hummer EVs in that scale range as well. Matchbox also did a Walker delivery truck in their smallish-scale Models Of Yesteryear line a while back. There is also a range of modern EVs in the current Matchbox 1/64-ish line. Getting back to the Audi, the impending model release was announced here some time ago, though I am not familiar with the car itself.

Getting back to the Audi, the impending model release was announced here some time ago, though I am not familiar with the car itself. RS e-Tron GT has two electric motors giving it AWD, has (equivalent) 590HP, with the ability to boost it in spurts to 637HP. 0-60 in 3.3 Seconds, Top Speed of the German Magic 155. Edmunds found it to have a 273 mile range, which exceeds the EPA Guidelines by about 40 miles. It's a sedan on a coupe profile - which is sort of what every Executive Class car looks like these days, being an Executive Class (Size) it's the same overall size as an E-Class or 5 Series. Or if you wanted to stay in the Audi family and get a gas car, you'd buy an Audi A7 RS which is a hybrid with a Twin Turbo V-8, but it's a couple of ticks slower to 60 and doesn't have the ability to boost out the extra 40 HP. If anything the e-Tron has just a little extra bit of aggressive styling lines than a regular A7 RS, which I suppose has something to do with the RS A7 being a fast Executive car that has to sell to stodgy Germans in it's normal, less sporty iterations.

keyser Posted September 6, 2022 Share Posted September 6, 2022 There is a nice diecast Taycan, 1/24 from Welly/NEX. Have seen dc Teslas but didn’t care enough to chase. Audi looks better, both really cramped inside though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace-Garageguy Posted September 6, 2022 Share Posted September 6, 2022 When you buy the kit, do you get access to a downloadable recording of the fake noises it makes? Maybe a ringtone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big disappointment compared to recent years then. Good thing Revell USA make up for it with plenty of reissues I am interested in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iamsuperdan Posted September 6, 2022 Share Posted September 6, 2022 I will be picking one up for sure. And the aftermarket is going to love this kit. Lowering, wheel upgrades. Cannot wait to see what people do with this one. And I am fully expecting to see some creative types slapping big engines into this for funsies.
