Carrera Hybrid: This gift makes the Christmas tree shake

Are you looking for an exciting Christmas gift for a racing or Carrera track fan? Then the new Carrera Hybrid is just the thing. With this completely new type of Carrera track, chases and races are now possible without being tied to predetermined tracks. You can also overtake anywhere with your racing car as long as you win the corner.

But not only are the familiar tracks missing, there is also no longer a controller. It is controlled with a cell phone. Or with another Bluetooth controller, for example from a Sony Playstation. There is also now an AI that is supposed to stop cars from flying off the track. In general, nothing would work without the accompanying Carrera app: you not only use it to operate the car and select the race track, but the app also serves as a lap counter and ensures a realistic engine sound.

We have tested the new Carrera Hybrid extensively, you can find our comprehensive test report here:

On Amazon you will find three different Carrera starter sets, one more than in the Carrera online shop:

• Carrera HYBRID Devil Drivers for 149.99 euros; Structure/length: 2.68 mx width: 1.36 m; Road length: 6.09 m. Two detailed models of the Porsche 911 GT3 R (with battery, front and rear lights) in a scale of 1:50: the fire-red “Red Devil” and the pitch-black “Black Devil”. Delivery before Christmas (as of December 13th)
• Carrera HYBRID Speedway to Hell for 134.99 euros (instead of 149.99 euros as originally announced); Structure/length: 2.50 mx width: 1.72 m; Road length: 6.09 m. Two detailed models of the Porsche 911 GT3 R (with battery, front and rear lights) in a scale of 1:50: the gift green “Greeno” and the neon yellow “Grello”. Delivery only after Christmas (as of December 13th)
• Carrera HYBRID Runway Chase (Amazon Exclusive) for 149.99 euros; with a yellow and a blue racing car. Delivery before Christmas (as of December 13th)

The only small downer: The prices for Carrera Hybrid are stable, you won’t get any discounts on Amazon yet. And one of the sets mentioned above will no longer be available until Christmas. Apart from that, Carrera Hybrid is ideally suited to being set up directly under the Christmas tree straight out of the box and providing immediate racing fun. This would save the often boring Christmas Eve…
