Carisma Racing CRF-GT Pagani Zonda R 1/10th pan car

Carisma have introduced their new Carisma Racing CRF-GT Pagani Zonda R 1/10th scale 2WD Performance pan car kit that is limited to 500 pieces world wide. The CRF-GT is based on the new Carisma Racing CRF platform, an innovative 2WD race chassis that features the same geometry and tuning options of its chassis-only CRF kit sibling. The only noticeable differences are the addition of a front bumper and the design of the battery hold down mechanism. Each chassis will come laser-engraved with its edition number making this not only a fun and iconic Supercar to own, but also a collectible snapshot of automotive history. The body is made under license from Horacio Pagani S.P.A., Italy, and it is meant to be the most realistic body shell in the history of Carisma Racing. The body panels are screen-printed to replicate the original car’s Dry Carbon look and this finish is only available with this Limited Edition kit. To complete the realism and photo realistic look, injection-moulded accessories are used to further enhance the detail and replicate items like wing mirrors, spoilers and all of the aerodynamic aids of the full-scale car. The kit includes the chassis and body shell and requires wheels, tyres, electronics, and paint.
