The Vinny V8 Vintage Racer lets you build a classic race car while learning how real machines work! 

This hands-on STEM kit guides you through assembling a detailed vintage racer with moving mechanical parts.

It suits curious builders who enjoy cars, puzzles, and clever engineering!

As the build comes together, the racer reveals a working V8 engine, steering control, and suspension.

The model also includes a 4-speed manual transmission that shows how gears shift and power moves through the car.

You can even choose left-hand or right-hand drive during assembly, which adds a fun level of customisation!

  • Build a detailed vintage racer with a realistic V8 engine and moving mechanical parts (snap together assembly, no glue required).
  • Includes adjustable 4-speed manual transmission, steering, and suspension systems
  • Motorised function brings the finished racer to life once assembly is complete

Requires 2 x AAA batteries (not included). Recommended for ages 10 and up.

The Vinny V8 Vintage Racer makes a great gift for young builders and car fans who enjoy hands-on projects.

It offers a rewarding build and a fascinating look at how vehicles work.

Add this clever kit to your gift list and let someone enjoy the thrill of building their own vintage racer!
