The petrol versions can reach 115 km/h; their electric counterparts top out at 80 km/h. These half-scale replicas are sold in Spain from €2,500, but none can be registered for road use in Europe.
Made by China’s Inso Star, the vehicles are closer to karts than road cars, with bodywork modelled on full-size sports cars. Designs include the Porsche 964 and Ferrari F40. Other models draw on the Toyota AE86 Sprinter Trueno and Nissan Skyline GT-R R34. The range also includes the Mercedes-Maybach Clase S, as well as the Yangwang U9 Extreme.
Buyers can customise the cars inside and out, then choose an electric motor or a four-cylinder petrol engine. The top-speed gap is substantial: the petrol option is quicker, but the source gives no further performance figures.
The €2,500 starting price is well below the €6,000 creator Vicente Sabio paid for a Porsche 964 electric version, according to a video he posted under @vicentsabio. His example shows how much the final price can vary. The petrol version was not yet available when he discussed his purchase.
The lack of European road registration is the key practical limit: these vehicles are for private land or a kart circuit that permits them. Spain’s Ministry of Industry sets out a legalisation procedure for vehicles originating outside the European Economic Area under Article 5(4)(b) of Royal Decree 750/2010, dated 4 June. The procedure calls for technical documentation and proof of the relevant type or individual approval. It also requires original registration and inspection documents from the country of origin. Where an EU type approval and Certificate of Conformity exist, the certificate may replace the reduced technical sheet; otherwise, the vehicle must undergo an individual technical inspection at an ITV station.
For L-category vehicles, the ordinary limit for a light quadricycle (L6e) is 45 km/h; heavy quadricycles (L7e) can have up to 15 kW. Those categories fall under Regulation (EU) 168/2013, and speed alone does not determine a vehicle’s classification. A separate account of game-inspired car styling covered automakers’ social-media imagery and noted that it did not establish a GTA 6 licensing deal.
Another creator, @kikep7, has posted footage of the small cars drifting. Their use on a circuit still depends on whether the venue allows them.
