From the mind of world class industrial designer Patrick Calello comes a new generation of contemporary heirloom toys. Automoblox fuses the character and durability of classic wooden cars with vibrant elements of modern design to create a unique construction system that invites children of all ages to think and create in three dimensional space.
The C9R Sports Car features Interchangeable body blocks; removable connectors; stylish changeable wheels; changeable tires; dynamically styled interchangeable roofs; passengers with geometric “legs” that correspond to the passenger compartment's custom seat and a 17 digit VIN identifies the year and model of your car.
Additional features include front splitter, rear diffuser, front air intake and deeply sculpted side skirts.
A souped up version of the C9, the C9R rides lower to the ground on larger wheels and ultra low profile tires in a deep red hue.
Construction and specifications are similar to the standard C9 Sports Car.
Why is this product Super Cool?
Here is at least part of why we decided to rank the Automoblox C9R Sports Car as a Super Cool toy.
Kids Love Cars
In general, you just can't go wrong with a toy car. Kids always seem to love playing with all types of cars in all kinds of ways. Whether it's rolling, zooming, crashing, ramping, racing, playing alone or with friends cars are a classic standard for good reason and the Automoblox C9R Sports Car is no exception.
Quality Construction
Automoblox are designed to last. The body is constructed from durable yet beautiful, honey colored wood and the windshield from injection molded translucent polycarbonate while the tires are made from durable rubber. This awesome car is built for play, displays nicely and is meant to be an heirloom piece handed down from generation to generation. For these reasons Automoblox will appeal to kids of all ages and adults as well.
Great Color and Style
One of my favorite things about Automoblox in general is their rich, vibrant accent colors. The C9R accents are black with deep red tires. The color scheme seems to shout, "I mean business!". The translucent colored windshield adds a modern touch and the additional features of front splitter, rear diffuser, front air intake and deeply sculpted side skirts adds a "souped up" feel to this already sporty design.
Size
The standard Automoblox cars average roughly 8” x 3”, a nice size for both play and display. Much bigger than the standard pocket size metal cars but still small enough to be easily handled by small hands.
Interchangeable Parts
Even if we stopped at quality construction, great style, beautiful colors and the perfect size Automoblox would be cool. But it gets even better! Automoblox are designed to be taken apart and rebuilt over and over again. The unique connector system allows one to easily mix and match parts and pieces from any car within the line. The more Automoblox you and your friends collect the more cool customized cars you can create. That makes Automoblox a classic toy car AND a creativity encouraging building toy all in one. That makes Automoblox Super Cool!
