Some years ago, the original Viper concept was unveiled after some Chrysler engineers went to work with a V10 truck engine and a simple chassis. Three years later the Coupe appeared and the car has gone on to become a proper modern day muscle car in the US, and a successful racer in GT series in Europe, including impressive displays of durability at Le Mans.
The Dodge Viper GTS/R keeps the spaceframe, aluminium suspension, 8.0 litre aluminum V-10 engine and high-performance six-speed manual gearbox used in the current Viper. However, like the race cars, this version has a dry-sumped engine producing five hundred horsepower, up fifty from the current road cars. Torque is also hits the magic 500 lb-ft. The body is a single moulding of carbon-fibre.
Fourteen-inch ventilated disc brakes with four-piston calipers all-around will bring the car to a halt, whilst the 19-inch wheels with P285/30 ZR Goodyear tires up front and 20-inch rear wheels with P335/30 ZR tyres hit the tarmac.
Here I have two pictures, the first one is a Fly, spanish slot car maker with a 1/32 scale.

The second one is a Carrera 1/43 scale. There are many differences. There are many more details in the Fly one, but I do not think, as others do, the Carrera 1/43 is “just” a toy. I think it is a good and cheap way to start in this hobby and besides is a better way to start with your children and introduce them to this wonderful world.
