The new 1:32 analog slot car is supplied in a clear display case. Its restrained finish makes it a distinctive alternative to race-liveried versions.
Formally cataloged under reference S51, its official production name is the McLaren M8D "Red Special" Competition (though some databases label it as an M8C). It is distinct from the brand's other slot cars for several specific reasons:Non-Historical Fantasy Livery: While almost all other Vanquish MG slot cars were hyper-accurate replicas of real, historical Can-Am racing cars (like Denny Hulme's iconic orange McLarens), the "Red Special" featured a unique, non-historical all-red color scheme designed purely for the hobby market.The "Special" Line Designation: Vanquish MG used the "S" prefix (S51) specifically for their "Special/Competition" series. Their standard historical releases used a "CA" (Can-Am) prefix.The "ROJO" Label: On Spanish secondary markets and collector forums, it is officially nicknamed the "McLaren Special ROJO".
