FABULOUS! Scalextric Unveils the Stunning Limited Edition FAB 1 Chrome Edition (C4579A)

Few vehicles in television history are as instantly recognizable as Lady Penelope’s six-wheeled Rolls-Royce, FAB 1. An icon of sophistication, style, and secret-agent gadgets, FAB 1 represents the very best of Thunderbirds. Now, Scalextric is preparing to elevate this classic with a release that is simply international in its appeal: the highly anticipated, limited-edition FAB 1 Chrome Edition (C4579A).

F.A.B.! The highly anticipated Scalextric FAB 1 Chrome Edition (C4579A) captures Lady Penelope's iconic vehicle in a beautiful, deep magenta metallic finish, complete with Parker and Lady Penelope ready for their next mission.

This is more than just a slot car; it's a collector's masterpiece designed to capture the glamour and grandeur of the original Supermarionation model, making it an essential acquisition for fans of Gerry Anderson's classic series and die-hard slot car enthusiasts alike.

Pre-Order Now: The Ultimate Collectible Finish

While the standard FAB 1 model is a faithful reproduction of Lady Penelope's iconic pink Rolls-Royce, the Chrome Edition steps into the realm of the truly special. The C4579A model boasts a stunning, deeply reflective metallic finish - a rich, magenta-chrome sheen that gives the car a sense of weight and luxury rarely seen on a 1:32 scale slot car.

This metallic upgrade transforms the vehicle, brilliantly highlighting the sleek lines, the distinctive six-wheel chassis, and the imposing chrome grille that made the original car such a star. As a limited-edition piece, its unique finish ensures it will stand out in any collection, making it a highly sought-after item that is expected to be extremely popular upon release.

🚨 Collector Alert: This model is currently available for pre-order only and is expected to release towards the end of the year. Secure your piece of International Rescue history now before pre-order allocations run out!

Scalextric has ensured the Chrome Edition doesn't just look fabulous, it promises thrilling performance on the track too. The model is built on the robust, highly detailed mould of the FAB 1, featuring key specifications and details that collectors demand:

• 1:32 Scale Detail: The level of fidelity is exceptional, accurately recreating the car's unique profile.

• A Familiar Crew: Visible beneath the futuristic bubble canopy are two fully painted figures: the faithful chauffeur, Aloysius Parker, behind the wheel, and Lady Penelope Creighton-Ward herself, positioned perfectly in the rear giving the orders.

• Working Lights: Equipped with working front and rear lights, the FAB 1 will look spectacular whether stationary in a display case or navigating a high-speed curve in the dark.

• Ready to Race: As a modern Scalextric release, it is Digital Plug Ready (DPR), allowing for quick and easy conversion to race on Scalextric Digital layouts (Digital plug sold separately). It also includes the Magnatraction system for enhanced grip and stability on the track.

The FAB 1 Chrome Edition comes in striking Thunderbirds 60 Years anniversary packaging, making it a perfect piece for both the track and the display shelf.
