Just because your kids have been bugging you for a Power Wheels or pedal car doesn’t mean you have to have a plastic replica of a Jeep or Hummer sitting around your house. Thanks to the British Turbo Toys firm, the young’uns can now mosey around the yard in an Alfa Romeo 8C.
The kid-sized version of Alfa’s sensuous flagship is (sadly) crafted only in mere styrene, but is available in either foot- or electric-powered versions. Pricing is a bit steep; with pedal versions starting at £149 ($300) and motorized variants at £249 ($500), these are more likely to be found at an FAO Schwartz, not a local Toys R Us.
We’ll give Turbo Toys some credit - the car retains its good looks in spite of its plastic construction, and, true to life, there’s already a waiting list to get behind the wheel of either version. May we recommend a Maserati Spyder or a Mercedes-Benz SL500, instead?
