NINCO showed some great new items at the recent Nuremburg Toy Fair in Germany. This (world's largest) show is where manufacturers & dealers from around the world meet to display some of their newest products for the coming year. Distributed in 50 countries around the world, NINCO is famous for producing the highest quality slot car tracks, an extensive range of cars, and the most innovative racing system & parts to give its customers all the thrills and excitement of real car racing. It was obvious by the huge crowds at the NINCO display, looking at the new products that NINCO's famous quality is the result of an extremely careful process of research and development, manufacturing and distribution. NINCO tracks and cars are all manufactured in Barcelona, Spain and as such are the only complete slot system entirely produced within Europe.

From a change in NINCO's corporate "look", to six new sets and exciting new cars, new, casual and hardened slot car racers will surely be happy with NINCO's latest items. NINCO developed a new generation of its extensive Prorace line of competition race parts. Called Prorace Evo, these optional parts made of precious metals such as magnesium and titanium will now be made in two sizes, 2.48mm and 3/32" to provide the finest advanced racing parts that will fit every brand and model of slot car. NINCO's celebrated N-Digital slot racing system, with the ability to race eight cars at once using seven racing modes, and the ability to overtake by changing lanes & make necessary pit stops, continues to grow. A new Digital Starter set with Porsche 997's has been added as well as additional cars with pre-installed digital "chips" for those enthusiasts who want "plug 'n play", out of the box racing. For added excitement, a new curved, double lane changing track piece that can be used for left hand and right hand curves will create additional challenges to tax the most ardent racers. For ultimate digital control, the new N-Digital Progressive Controller with its smooth, adjustable trigger response will enhance the overall driving experience.
The new cars. Wow!! The high quality, European manufacture really shines. Given that the Tampo printing and Clear Coat applied to all the cars are absolutely gorgeous, and the balance, power and handling of the cars are developed for both magnet and no-magnet racing, the new breed of cars being released will be must haves! GT, RAID, Rally, LeMans Prototype and more will be covered. H2 Hummers, Classic & current Porsche's, Schlesser, Lexus, Mosler, Ascari, Citroen, Lamborghini & Acura are just some of the names that will get NINCO's quality treatment.
