• Core Materials: The main body is made of die-cast alloy metal, paired with realistic rubber tires, stainless steel trim, and high-quality leather/fabric interior. Assembly Specifications: Hand-assembled from over 1,800 precision parts, perfectly replicating the real car's 33° angled inline 8-cylinder engine layout 🛠️.
• Paint Finish: Utilizes original-grade metallic silver paint, replicating the matte metallic texture of the magnesium alloy Elektron body, with a rich and layered sheen.

2. Exterior Highlights

3. Exclusive "Red Interior" Essence

• Cockpit Atmosphere: Bright red leather/fabric seats and interior panels create a striking contrast with the silver exterior, exuding a retro-sporty feel.
• Interior Details: The center console, instrument panel, gearshift, and steering wheel are fully reproduced; the seats are upholstered in checkered fabric with a delicate texture; the door panels and center console are covered in red leather, showcasing meticulous craftsmanship 🧵.
• Special Design: Due to the real car's racing purpose, the interior lacked seatbelts, a historical feature faithfully reproduced in the model.

4. Mechanical and Dynamic Simulation

• Power Core: Under the hood lies a highly realistic inline 8-cylinder engine, including all auxiliary components such as pipes and wiring, making the mechanical structure clearly visible.
• Suspension System: The front double wishbone and rear single-joint swing arm suspension structure is fully replicated, with spring damping effect, simulating the feel of a real car.
