Ferrari for a Grand

A Ferrari that will be sold for just over £1,000 has gone on display in Germany. The Italian manufacturer has produced a go-kart that will feature the prancing horse logo as well as an on-board computer, seven gears, a leather steering wheel and rubber racing tyres.

The pedal-powered Ferrari FXX was shown for the first time at the Nuremberg Toy Fair and has attracted a waiting list of 500 parents in Britain. It was developed after the Dutch company Berg Toys approached Ferrari with the idea last year. “You aren't going to break any speed records but you will probably get up to 15mph to 20mph depending on how fast you can pedal,” Andrew Reynolds, the British sales manager for Berg Toys, said. He said that it was intended for children but added: “The seat is adjustable so it can be driven by a grown-up.”

You want one of these... made by Kettler https://www.kettlerusa.com/img0.gif

I had one when I were a lad (not that exact one, the design has come a long way since then) but they were definately the street sleeper of pedal go karts...

Would smoke that Ferrari for a tenth of the price

Those alloys looks scarily similar to the ones on my car (minus the whole 'ferrari'ness')

That ferrari has too high a centre of gravity, looks like it could roll quite easily.

Not like my old plastic wheeled kettler.

[tutton]

See any real 6 year old self composed boy racing ferrari racer
would be sticking 14" wheels on their, making a better power to weight ratio, less grip, more drifty drift haha

Looks pretty sweet, im not liking the lack of seatbelt ness tho.

Kettcar... lets find a big hill, drag the thing to the top and then fly down the hill hoping no change in direction or speed is needed.

So much fun was had.

I want one. Drop the seat in the frame, put an RD350 engine on the back, then tune it up a bit. 100bhp wheelie monster

I never understood the Kettcars, my brother had one and you had to put laods of effort in and you still only ended going slow. Mountain bikes were miles better.

You bunch of cagers
