These one-of-a-kind race cars are the ultimate collector’s item. With an official license from Sauber Motorsport, AFX used the sponsor logos, livery details and body specs of the real life cars to create the most realistic HO scale version possible.
The Swiss company, Sauber Motorsport, shot off the starting line when it was founded in 1970. After its debut in F1 in 1993, Sauber carved out a name for itself. Not only were they one of the few traditional, privately held teams in the sport, they set standards in the design, development and construction of race cars to this day.
Sauber Motorsport operates and manages the Alfa Romeo F1 Team, conducting full and model-scale testing in the factory’s state-of-the-art wind tunnel providing ground-breaking innovation in the field of aerodynamics. The company’s evolutionary skill and artistry helped earn its induction into the exclusive club of teams to have competed in more than 500 F1 races. In 2022, Sauber Motorsport celebrated 30 years in the sport and continues to dominate both on and off the track.
AFX fans the world over have spent years pining for the latest generation of F1 cars and AFX’s Alfa Romeo F1 Team Collection is well worth the wait. These cars blow AFX’s already top-of-the-line detail and design rendering out of the water. Their multifaceted logos and deeply sculpted bodies pushed the boundaries of car construction to heights never before seen - much less attempted, at such a small scale.
This livery is the Full Year car for #77, the Team’s Lead Driver, Valterri Bottas. Born and raised in Finland, Bottas has become a powerhouse driver with a fast-tracked career of 10 race wins and a staggering 67 podiums. His full year car’s livery contrasts beautifully at full speed with a deep, stark red-on-black body and matching wheel well.
CH SSIS : Mega G+ LONG Wheelbase Chassis (1.7″)
Mega G+ Chassis
Smoother, more consistent, and more intuitive than any car we’ve ever built, the Mega G+ chassis is the ultimate driving machine. It runs faster and handles better than the competition and continues AFX’s reign of the most realistic HO cars on earth.
Not only is it up to 35% lighter than any other HO chassis. Having the lowest center of gravity of all competitors means it corners like a dream. But the cherry on top is the ability to create super realistic car bodies thanks to the Mega G+ being the narrowest, lowest chassis ever made.
Still don’t believe us? Here’s the facts...
Stronger Pick Up Shoes have stronger contact for more consistent power
The AFX Exclusive Extra-Long Tapered Guide Pin keeps the car on track longer
Level 30 Neodymium Ground Effects Magnets keep the car glued to the track
An FN20 Advanced Power Unit is energy efficient, smooth, quiet, and consistent
The Nylatron Chassis Material has just enough flex for super durability
High Carbon Power Unit Brushes last longer than composite brushes
The New Redundant Power Transfer System improved durability and drivability
