** UPDATE ** We just caught wind of four additional future releases, each still without a release date, also the McLaren Senna GTR was already presented in 2023, though it was a single image. Why is AUTOart slowing down? History shows they did not follow typical speed to market, but if we’re honest their pace is even slower than what we’ve seen from this brand in the past. Food for thought!
AUTOart unveils their 1:18 opening Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 in Oxford White. This is a pre-production painted sample. There is no word on an official release date, though we suspect Q3-Q4 2024.
71751 – Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat Redeye Jailbreak (Knucke White)
81953 – McLaren Senna GTR (Silica White)
77466 – Nissan Skyline 2000 GT-R (KPGC110) Tuned version (Silver)
77511 – Nissan GT-R50 by Italdesign (Metallic White/Black)
Product# 73095 / See above
If it’s on the same schedule as the Corvette Zr-1… We might have to wait until the real car is discontinued. Wait, what? Oh, yeah it is! How about that long rumored C8 Corvette? Maybe when the C9 comes out?
Hopefully a lot more models will be released in the second half of 2024
Well maybe before I die .. or not.
I personally don’t mind the slow releases if the QC greatly improves, after all, they do take some time to do. It probably won’t happen, but I want Autoart to address the wobbly/off-axis wheel problem on their models.
Otherwise, the models look great. The only problem I’ve had with their composite models so far are the wobbly/off-axis wheels. There’s absolutely no reason for them to have this issue because other manufacturers don’t have them.
