Beautiful classic design, shame it only goes 18mph!
Top speed of 18mph, and a range of 15 miles? Charges in only two hours? No, this isn’t the future of transportation we’re talking about here, it’s a toy. A toy from Audi, of all places. The company has created this electric-powered and half-scale recreation of an Auto Union Type C, grand prix racer of the late 1930s

The world according to Nika Zupanc is an intriguing one – the creation of this sit-on ‘child’s’ toy exclusively for 20ltd.com is an epitomizing tour de force of her cute originality. Playfully nostalgic for a time when children had physical friends as toys rather than digital enemies, it is surely any youngster’s most stylish first car. For the adults, it might be rather a chic means of arriving into dinner.

Man I loved that toy, how could you turn down a robotic laser tank thing…
Sure to get men of A Certain Age all flustered, Bigtrak’s iPhone app has arrived in the same year that the toy relaunched, and while it’s not much more than a glorified calculator, it’s a free trip down memory lane.

There was a time when our designer toy collection was a little out of hand. While we never stood in line outside Giant Robot to score a limited edition run, we were hard pressed leaving the store without a purchase. And we aren’t the only ones who had (of maybe still have) a vinyl figure obsession. So what happens when a love for contemporary figurines meets a love of vintage tech. Yes, you just heard our heads explode.
