F1 Junior Car 642

• Limited edition / one-off special commission now available for the first time
• F1-style single-seater suspension
• Suitable for drivers from 5 years old to adults

This stunning child's car is powered by a 230cc petrol engine, with power output of 9HP. The specially manufactured slick tyres (10" front and 12" rear) are designed to run from cold without warming blankets. Boasting a full hand-painted livery, the car weighs approximately 250kg including the driver. This miniature 642 features full-size automotive engineering, simply scaled down, ensuring all components are robust enough to increase reliability, endurance and driveability. Extensive development went into creating the one-of-a-kind monocoque chassis, while the front and rear suspension mimics the single-seater technology of the day, allowing the driver to enjoy an authentic F1 experience.

Length 3.1 m - Width 1.62 m - Height: 1.02 m"
