Lamborghini Launches its First 5mph Supercar

Totcars have launched the 5mph electric Lamborghini Gallardo just in time for Christmas - but it’s only for children under 6. The new Mercedes 500SL and Ferrari California are also new additions to the line up of over 500 gleaming children’s cars at Totcars.co.uk.

The fully licensed cars are child-sized versions of the world’s most prestigious car brands, enabling kids to get behind the wheel of a car just like Mum’s or Dad’s. The range includes everything from Porsches to Peugeots; they can even pretend to be a racing driver in their very own electric Ferrari F1 car. 

All the licensed cars feature a steel chassis, alloy-like wheels, sports steering wheel and a tough polyethylene body.  The paint is deep injected so scratches can be easily buffed away. and of course they all come with the badges and stickers just like their adult versions.

There is a car for every child on www.totcars.co.uk, with ages starting from 2 years old. Children even receive their very own personalised MOT and registration certificates, as well as personalised number plates and drivers licence which adds an exclusive feel to an already special gift. For parents the 1 year guarantee and UK based service centre offers peace of mind and ensures the car will stay in great condition for years to come.

Lamborghini Gallardo – 12 volt electric. A pedal version is also available.

The Gallardo is the first child version of a Lamborghini and it has been re-created with precision. In gleaming white, its beautiful lines faithfully represents the iconic styling of its adult version. The Lamborghini designers have produced a gorgeous flowing child’s Gallardo that is destined to be an instant classic.

The electric Lamborghini Gallardo can reach speeds of 5mph and features progressive acceleration and an electronic gearbox with forward and reverse gears

Ferrari California – 12 volt electric. A pedal car version is also available.

The California encompasses everything the Ferrari brand is known for – quality, luxury and of course, prestige. Featuring the iconic licensed Prancing Horse logo the California is desirable to children and parents alike.

In the electric version, progressive acceleration re-creates that driving feel as the car goes faster when the pedal is pushed harder up to a maximum speed of 5mph. The electronic gearbox adds to this effect giving the child a fantastic driving experience.

Mercedes 500 SL – 6 volt electric.  A pedal car version is also available.

The new design philosophy of the adult Mercedes 500 SL has been beautifully re-created in child-sized form giving an exclusive, executive feel.

Both the pedal and electric cars feature an adjustable leather-look seat adding to the luxury look and the electric version goes up to 3mph.

Full specification for all three models and price list attached.

Tot Cars – Top 10 tips for safe driving

1.       To maximise safety, it is recommended that children under the age of 12 be supervised by a responsible adult at all times.

2.       Choose an area that is wide and clear of obstacles, with only a gentle slop and long run off areas.

3.       Do not use close to parked cars.

4.       Avoid icy surfaces and avoid using in excessive wet or snowy conditions.

5.       Look for a smooth service and avoid large holes, ruts, tree roots etc.

6.       Only use the cars in day-light, or in well lit areas.

7.       Stay seated at all times and do not attempt ‘stunts or tricks’ such as travelling backwards or standing up.

8.       Make sure you avoid any routes which are near roads, streams or ponds.

9.       Keep arms and legs well tucked in, and clothing such as scarves, drawstrings etc away from wheels and other moving parts.

10.   Dress properly with appropriate clothing and footwear.
