V8 Race Car By Thames & Kosmos

Gear up for an epic automotive adventure! Build your very own model race car from the inside out. As you snap each piece into place, you'll uncover the amazing secrets of how cars steer, shift, and speed through streets. Create a working, 4-speed manual transmission with reverse and neutral, a drive wheel torque differential for better traction and handling around curves, shock absorbing suspensions, and of course, a visible V8 engine complete with a crankshaft, pistons and exhaust fan. An adjustable steering wheel can be installed for left- or right-hand side driving. 40-page, full-color manual guides the build and teaches key mechanical engineering concepts like gears and engines. 233 pieces, for ages 10 and up.
