Where was this when I was a kid???

The Broon F8 is one of the latest supercars to hit the road - but one with a difference.

 

The electric vehicle boasts four-wheel drive, LED headlights, a full touchscreen control and entertainment system and has intelligent drive assist, and can even be controlled remotely.

 

However, it has one difference from the Ferraris and Lamborghinis of the world - it is aimed at kids.

 

 

'The sophisticated design, state of the art mechanism, the maximum level of safety, and the smartest technology,' the firm says.The Korean car costs just $1,000 - and is the ultimate toy. 'The Broon is not just a car, it is a supercar for your kids.'

 

Power comes from a 12v/24v 15,000RPM motor with a top speed of 14 km/h.

 

For driver safey, there are bucket seats with four-point safety harnesses and thanks to a self-analysis system, the car provides excellent handling as it distributes the power to the wheels based on terrain.

 

For rough playrooms, the Broon is equipped with individual supension on all wheels. 

 

'It will be the most comfortable ride your child can ever experience, ' the firm says. It also uses real tires. 

 

'Unlike the toy wheels used on most kids` vehicles, Broon's wheel structure is similar to that on an actual motor vehicle. 

 

 

 

'The spoke wheels, which is lighter, more agile, and durable, are connected to the suspension and steering link via wheel fastener. 

 

'A dense urethane foam tire is used, minimizing vibration and noise from the road while vastly improving traction and over all performance.'

 

It also borrows a lot of other technology from the more grown up cars on the market.

 

'Implementing the latest technology and implicating the most realistic auto parts, such as the gear box, electronic disc brakes, urethane foam tires, or the ability to employ Android OS as Broon`s infotainment system, Henes firmly stands at the forefront of all competition,' the firm says. 

 

 

It has three driving modes, 'Comfort' mode makes acceleration and braking slow and easy. 'Normal' increases the sensitivity of the gas and brake pedals and 'Dynamic' mode cranks it all up.

The pedals can also be used as an input device for playing games and other fuctionality

 

And if your child isn't keen ion driving, you can turn it into the world's largest remote controlled car thanks to a provided controller.

- input device for playing games and other fuctionality-

so wait, kids can hook this up to play simulators? I want a full sized one please.

 

and actually for 1 grand, thats a crapton of features. I mean 300$ gets you a plastic car with plastic wheels. this is a rc, real seats, real supsension, real everything really. for a grand? not to bad. 

 

edit: time to get everyone and there kids, give the kids water balloons or banana peels, set it to RC mode, and have a real life mario cart.

That actually seems like a deal for $1000 tbh, It'd be cool to get one to tinker with.

[thekeemo]

I wish I had this when I was a kid

[RichardsD]

Forget my non existent kids.  I wonder what kind of awesome Unmanned Ground Vehicle you could build with this?  Just remove the seat and fill it with sensors and things..

[ClakeyD]

Kids always get the coolest shit.

[The_Strict_Nein]

From what I know of these types of products, $1000 sounds cheap as shit

[projectmayhem]

Holy shit. Haha

That is awesome.

[atrash]

You need to have a really big ass playroom to ride this I'm sure..Kanye West is so gonna get this for his kid.

[LAwLz]

Traction control? 4 wheel drive? Automatic gear box?

How is my (fictional) 5 year old son going to impress all the chicks at his kindergarten with that? Bring me a rear wheeled drive model with a manual gear box and let me turn off all the driver assist, then we'll talk.

 

Seriously though that seems pretty impressive for 1000 dollars.

[flibberdipper]

OH MY GOD I NEEEEEEEEEED THIS

[JAKEBAB]

I need one!!!!

[ComradeHX]

I'll take a dozen.

[pdv789]

Tbh I think I might buy one for my nephew just to annoy my sister lol.

[Gamingfreak]

I'm 26 years old and I want one. I'm still a child.

[TheGuyNL]

So you could basically also use it for a racing simulator, put a screen on the hood and connect it up to a pc, and drive away!

[McMurderMonkey]

Want.

Actually looks pretty sexy.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

still better than the gle

I spent 1500 dollars on my PC, if i had a kid and i thought he deserved it I'd get him one. $1000 dollars isn't to bad

[Thorium19]

I'd have loved one of these when I was younger!!!

Only thing is, considering the construction and the like that's gone into it, if it happened to be involved in a "crash" then it's one expensive waste of a toy that. Although if you're rich enough to buy it and let the child haf ethe space to use it, then having it break is probably no sweat.

There's not a person on this forum who isn't debating whether or not they could squeeze in for a test drive.

I can see the adult modding community is rubbing their hands together already...
