Build your very own model race car from the inside out. As you snap each piece into place, you’ll uncover the amazing secrets of how cars steer, shift, and speed through the streets. You will create a working four-speed manual transmission with reverse and neutral, a drive wheel torque differential for better traction and handling around curves, shock absorbing suspensions, and of course a visible V8 engine complete with a crankshaft, pistons, and exhaust fan. An adjustable steering wheel can be installed for left- or right-hand side driving. The sleek vintage design is sure to impress. A 40-page full-color manual guides the build and teaches key mechanical engineering concepts like gears and engines.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'courier new', courier, monospace;\"\u003eExpertly engineered model includes a real, working four-speed manual transmission, eight-cylinder engine, rear wheel differential, left- and right-hand drive steering, and shock-absorbing suspension\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'courier new', courier, monospace;\"\u003eCompletely visible engine allows you to see firsthand how the parts work together\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'courier new', courier, monospace;\"\u003eFun and unique building experience with authentic automotive components\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp id=\"ui-id-2\" class=\"ui-accordion-header ui-state-default ui-accordion-icons ui-accordion-header-active accordion-header-active ui-state-active ui-corner-top\" tabindex=\"-1\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'courier new', courier, monospace;\"\u003eProduct Information\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"desktop-product-accordion-2\" class=\"ui-accordion-content ui-helper-reset ui-widget-content ui-corner-bottom accordion-content-active\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'courier new', courier, monospace;\"\u003eAges: 10+\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'courier new', courier, monospace;\"\u003eExperiments: 7\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'courier new', courier, monospace;\"\u003ePiece Count: 233\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'courier new', courier, monospace;\"\u003eManual Pages: 40\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'courier new', courier, monospace;\"\u003eProduct Dimensions: 10 x 11 x 3.9 in.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'courier new', courier, monospace;\"\u003eProduct Weight: 1.4 lbs.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'courier new', courier, monospace;\"\u003eManual Dimensions: 7.1 x 10.2 in.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'courier new', courier, monospace;\"\u003eBatteries Required: AAA (2)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'courier new', courier, monospace;\"\u003eCountry of Origin: Taiwan\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'courier new', courier, monospace;\"\u003eYear Released: 2026\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Thames \u0026 Kosmos","offers":[{"title":"Red \/ New","offer_id":53454894334252,"sku":"GREUUD-12169","price":60.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/5629\/4188\/files\/17845719292019V23PLXZC6TN7RRKYSAQ.png?v=1784571963","url":"https:\/\/encorethreads.ca\/products\/thames-kosmos-v8-race-car-dfc35","provider":"ENCORE THREADS \u0026 TREASURES","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
