Description[]
Formul8r is a two-seat sports car with a rear "shark fin" resembling that of certain Formula One cars or similar race cars.
The casting was retooled in 2015, gaining a plastic interior that is part of the base; previously, the interior was a separate piece. Early versions had a ZAMAC interior.
