Archer Raceways was recently blessed with the arrival of a stunning little rally car, the Autoart Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VII. More than a mouthful to say, this car proved to be very handy on the track. We took the car straight out of the box and began running it. And we ran it hard. Constantly. Aside from being a delight to drive, the fastest time up our hillclimb with the car that first night got to take it home.

It's been almost a year since the first Auto Art Subaru's hit the United States. This is seemingly a long time to wait for a second release from a company, considering Spirit has now released two completely different models in half the time, not to mention the repaints, and Vanquish MG has come out with four different models. But when a model comes from a company like AutoArt, we tend to expect just a bit more. After all, AutoArt has a reputation to uphold.

This year has been one of many surprises. With many highly anticipated arrivals taking center stage, one unlikely contender has stepped into the slot car arena. AUTOart has been making high quality diecast for years featuring some of the finest detail available in 1:18, 1:43, and 1:64 scale. Now they have taken the plunge and begun offer their own brand of detail in 1:32 scale. This time, they don't just collect dust.
