At the Paris Motor Show (1st until 16th of October 2016), the new Bobby-Car in form of Bobby-AMG GT will roll into the limelight. The open-top single seater features a powerful drive system powered by two little human feet, whisper tyres for outstanding grip even on slick indoor surfaces and direct steering for superior manoeuvrability when tackling those living room slaloms. The new Bobby-AMG GT is available in classic silver, while the Bobby-AMG GT S variant with standard-fit LED headlamps is comes in the cool colour AMG Solarbeam.
“Many years of experience from family life as well as the passion of the designers and product managers at Mercedes-Benz Accessories GmbH form the basis for the new Bobby-AMG GT”, explains Andrea Finkbeiner-Müller, CEO of the company. “After all, the target audience includes some of the world’s bravest test drivers”.
The Bobby-AMG GT is a high-quality fifth-generation children’s car: the agile longitudinal and lateral dynamics come courtesy of the profiled whisper tyres which are fitted to rims featuring a cross-spoke design which is true to the original AMG forged wheels. And while the steering wheel in AMG GT design with silver insert provides for safe manoeuvring, the detailed headlamps and tail lights in clear glass help to round off the accomplished look of the ride-on toy car. Optimum seating comfort is assured thanks to a seat cushion made of foam material and finished in the colour red pepper. The new Bobby-Cars come with a set of stickers as well as assembly instructions. Additional features of the Bobby-AMG GT include the infinitely adjustable, precision double-pivot steering and a small turning circle. As an option, the silver Bobby can also be equipped with LED headlights and thus be called Bobby-AMG GT S.
In addition to functional headlamps, as standard the sporty Bobby-AMG GT S boasts the exclusive colour AMG solarbeam. Just like the prototype, this AMG GT S features a steering wheel with flattened bottom section, two-tube instrument cluster and black wheels in the cross-spoke design of the AMG forged wheels and fitted with whisper tyres. The detailed headlamps and tail lights in clear glass and with LED light function round off the successful combination of equipment of the ride-on toy car. To enable daytime running lamps and low-beam headlamps to be activated quickly, there is a headlamp switch on the dashboard. Other items of equipment include the foam seat cushion in the colour black. This model also comes with a sticker set as well as assembly instructions.
Now available is also the special limited edition Bobby-AMG GT “Tribute to Bambi” with an exclusive sticker pack highlighting the German national football team. The proceeds will go to the homonymous Foundation for disadvantaged children. The vehicle is limited to 1,000 units. It has a black body, black rims and a red seat.
All three vehicles made from robust plastic, are suitable for children aged 18 months and above. The Bobby-AMG GT is manufactured by the creator of the Bobby Car, the BIG toy factory in Burghaslach/Bavaria. The new Bobby-AMG GT are marketed by Mercedes-Benz Accessories GmbH and are available[1][2] in toy stores and from all authorised Mercedes-Benz dealers.
