Schumacher CAT 2000 ‘Classic’

Schumacher has announced the upcoming release of the CAT 2000 ‘Classic’.  The CAT 2000 was Schumacher’s groundbreaking 4WD buggy introduced in 1993, evolving from the legendary CAT series that included the Bosscat and ProCat.  Carrying forward this race winning pedigree, the CAT 2000 set new standards in performance, innovation, and handling.  The CAT 2000 Classic brings this icon back to life, carefully re-created for today’s vintage racing and collecting scene.  With its sleek composite chassis and distinctive period styling, the CAT 2000 Classic looks every bit as fast as it drives. Subtle updates improve durability and battery fitment, while keeping the authentic character that made the original such a success. Performance features include optimised 4WD suspension geometry and smooth, low friction ‘pro’ specification shocks for maximum grip and control.  The CAT 2000 Classic is a striking addition to any collection and a genuine contender on the track, the perfect blend of heritage, style, and race winning potential. The kit will be available from January.
