Nomen est Omen

We at Carrera see ourselves as "motorsport for the home" and cooperate successfully with both the automotive industry and international racing teams. It is therefore a logical obligation for us to incorporate maximum racing fun, entertainment and quality into our products. We focus on the shared experience of people of different ages - people who enjoy beautiful cars, fascinating technology and racing. Carrera is a highly exciting game of skill - because: if you fly off, you lose.

Carrera Racing models are subject to the same laws of physics as racing cars and sports cars on a 1:1 scale. The centrifugal forces must be counteracted with an optimal center of gravity, contact pressure is simulated with magnets, the right tire compound achieves maximum grip. For our young racing drivers, there are also challenges such as looping and other action stunt elements. The youngest pilots simply let SuperMario or Lightning McQueen whizz over the tracks.

The fun with Carrera knows no age limit and has been connecting generations for many decades. Thank you for your interest in our brand. The entire Carrera team wishes you continued fun and fast-paced action with our products.

The history of generations on the <tc>Carrera</tc> hand controller

1920
In 1920, Josef Neuhierl began manufacturing tin toys in the Franconian town of Fürth.

1963
In 1963, Neuhierl's son Hermann introduced the first electrically operatedCarrera universal Carreracar racing track on a scale of 1:32, which was very well received at the time. in 1967, "Carrera 124" another system on a larger vehicle scale came onto the market.

70s and 80s
In the 70s and 80s, the Carreraracetrack was further developed and many current and historical car models were added. The great success was overshadowed by the tragic death of Dr. Hermann Neuhierl in 1985


90s
After internal restructuring at the end of the 90s, the Stadlbauer group of companies from Salzburg (already responsible for the distribution of Carrera in Austria since the early 70s) took over the traditional company in 1999. Carrera combined tradition with innovative products and the use of high-tech and started another triumphal march with increasing sales at home and abroad. Stadlbauer invested in the Carreraracetrack - "Carrera 124" became the premium product line Carrera Exclusiv, and in 2001 Carrera GO!!! , an action track was developed especially for beginners and young people, which still meets the quality requirements in 1:43 scale today. The classic 1:32 vehicle scale called Carrera Evolution has been continuously developed further.
