One car, one builder

Your car does not exist yet. That is the point.

Nothing here sits in a warehouse. The week your order lands, a frame is cut and welded for you, the body is laid and painted, your powertrain is fitted and the car is test-driven. Slower than pulling a box off a shelf, and the only way a car this size gets built right.

6-9 weeks typical delivery · tracked the whole way

Step 1

Step 2

We build

Frame, body, paint and drivetrain, assembled and test-driven by one team.

Step 3

It ships

Crated, insured and delivered by freight, with photos before it leaves.

Owners and their cars

Michael R. — Petrol build with their car
★★★★★

It drives like a proper small car

Brakes bite, the steering loads up in a corner and it holds a slide as long as you keep your foot in. I have owned karts that cost three times this and felt cheaper.

Michael R. — Petrol build

Dana F. — Electric build with their car
★★★★★

Quiet enough for our street

Cul-de-sac, neighbours close. Electric was the right call: nobody complains and my daughter rides it after dinner with the limiter on.

Dana F. — Electric build

Greg S. — Petrol build with their car
★★★★★

The finish surprised me

I restore old cars. Panel fit and paint on this are better than plenty of factory work I have stripped down. The proportions are dead on.

Greg S. — Petrol build

Priya N. — Electric build with their car
★★★★★

Delivery was painless

Freight called ahead, the liftgate put the crate on the ground, the driver waited while I checked it. Twenty minutes and it was in the garage.

Worth the eight weeks

I checked tracking far too often. The wait stopped mattering about ten seconds into the first launch.

Bought it for the shop floor

Sits in our showroom in the week, gets driven at weekend events. Customers photograph it constantly, which was the plan.

Support answered on a Sunday

Carburettor question after a dusty weekend. Real answer with photos the same day.

My father-in-law will not get out

Bought it for the grandkids. He did laps of the paddock for an hour before anyone else got a turn.

Renee P. — Electric build

Sam O. — Petrol build with their car
★★★★★

Easy to work on

Standard bolts, open engine bay, parts I can source locally. At $449 with parts I can actually get, there was nothing to think about.

Sam O. — Petrol build

Bianca L. — Electric build with their car
★★★★★

The passenger seat gets used constantly

Everyone who visits wants a ride, and with two seats they get one. It doubled how much the car goes out.

Bianca L. — Electric build

Luis M. — Petrol build with their car
★★★★★

Sounds like the real thing

Pull start, a bark from the exhaust, vibration through the seat. The whole cul-de-sac came out the first evening. Nobody asked me to keep it down.

Luis M. — Petrol build

Kelsey D. — Electric build with their car
★★★★★

Birthday present that beat the trip

We had booked a weekend away for his fortieth. The car arrived the day before and cost less than the hotel. The trip got cancelled. Nobody complained.

Kelsey D. — Electric build

Car-meet magnet

Took it to a local cars and coffee on a trailer. More people around it than around a genuine GT3 two spaces over. The owner of the GT3 asked for the link.

Limiter makes it a family car

Set the limiter low for the twelve-year-old, take it off for me. Same car, two completely different afternoons. Charges off the garage outlet overnight.

★★★★★

Holds a drift longer than I expected

Wet parking lot, Sunday morning. Turn in, throttle, and it just keeps rotating until you say stop. Brakes are strong enough to feel safe doing it.

Marcus T. — Petrol build

Elena V. — Electric build with their car
★★★★★

Looks right from every angle

I was ready to be disappointed by the proportions. I was not. Photographed it next to the real car at a dealership and the salesman took a picture too.

Elena V. — Electric build

Exact 1:2 replica

Half the size. Every line in the right place.

This is not a car-shaped go-kart. It is the original scaled to one half, panel by panel: the stance, the shoulder line, the light shapes, the way the roof drops into the rear deck. Every proportion is taken from the real car, so it reads as the legend shrunk down, not as a cartoon of it. Park it beside the full-size version and the family resemblance stops people mid-sentence.

Speed

Fast enough to scare you a little

Up to 35 mph on the petrol build, 30 on the electric, sitting inches off the ground with the wind in your face. At this scale speed feels doubled: 30 mph in a half-size car feels like 60 in a full one. The first hard launch resets something in your chest. The second one you will be laughing.

Drift

Built to slide, built to catch it

Rear-wheel drive, a low centre of gravity, a short wheelbase and quick steering. Lift, turn in, roll back on the throttle and the rear end rotates exactly the way it does on a full-size drift car, just at a speed you can enjoy on a driveway. Then it hooks up and drives home. Four hydraulic disc brakes mean you are always the one deciding where it stops.

Under the body

Steel frame, real suspension, two adult-size seats

A welded steel tube chassis, independent front suspension, two proper bucket seats with belts, adjustable pedals and a steering wheel with a horn. Riders up to six foot three fit without folding, and there is always room for a passenger, which is how most of these end up being used. The body is hand-laid fibreglass, block-sanded and painted in a booth like a restoration shop uses.

Petrol $449 or electric $349

Two personalities. You choose.

Petrol is the whole ritual: the pull start, the bark of the exhaust, the vibration through the frame, a refuel and straight back out. Electric is the ambush: silent, instant torque off the line, a household plug overnight, and a speed limiter you can dial down when younger drivers take the wheel. Same body, same frame, same grin. Different soundtrack, one hundred dollars apart.

Delivery

It arrives on a truck, ready to drive

Crated, strapped and insured for the whole trip. Freight brings it to your address; with the liftgate option the driver lowers it to the ground so you need no dock, no forklift, no favour from a friend with a trailer. Uncrate, fuel or charge, and drive. No assembly, no dealer, no paperwork.

What you are actually buying

It is genuinely quick

Up to 35 mph inches off the ground. At half scale that feels twice as fast. This is a driver's car, not a display piece.

Rear-wheel drive, drift-ready

Short wheelbase, low centre of gravity, quick steering. It slides when you ask and hooks up when you lift.

Stops as hard as it goes

Four hydraulic disc brakes, seat belts and a limiter on the electric build. You decide the pace.

Freight included

Crated, insured and tracked to the lower 48 at no extra cost. Add the liftgate and it comes down to the ground at your driveway.

Parts stocked in the US

Belts, pads, filters, controllers and panels on the shelf here. Nothing is a sealed dealer-only unit.

Thirty-day return

If it does not live up to the clips, we collect it and refund you within thirty days of delivery.

Thirty days to change your mind

Drive it, slide it, park it next to the real one. If it does not live up to the clips, email us within thirty days of delivery with your order number and a photo. We arrange collection and refund you in full. No restocking fee, no return freight out of your pocket.
