1/32 scale reproduction of the Lola T290 nº11 from Ecurie Filipinetti that raced on the Vila Real street circuit in 1972. Manufactured by NSR with a Shark 21.5 EVO motor in Sidewinder configuration, it offers direct and balanced track performance, with impeccable historical decoration.
The reference NSR0628SW brings to the track one of the most beloved prototypes of European endurance racing from the seventies: the Lola T290 nº11, in the colours of Ecurie Filipinetti, as it competed in the demanding urban circuit of Vila Real in 1972. A proposal from NSR for fans of classic competition slot cars who value both historical fidelity and real performance on track.
In 1/32 scale, the NSR Lola T290 rigorously reproduces the proportions of the original chassis: the low and sharp nose, integrated fenders, and the open cockpit that so identified it in 2-litre endurance races. The tampo decorations are applied with great precision, and the level of finish is very notable within the Endurance Classic category.
The Sidewinder configuration with the Shark 21.5 EVO motor places the centre of gravity low and favours stability on fast tracks and chicanes. The NSR mechanical set —guide, braids, tyres, and axles— is factory-adjusted to offer predictable and competitive performance in slot clubs, without the need for prior preparation. It responds particularly well on circuits with fast, linked corners, where the mass distribution of the Sidewinder is noticeable.
As with all high-performance slot cars from NSR, it is advisable to perform the initial run-in at moderate power to settle the tyres and motor. If used on UNIVERSAL track systems (Scalextric, Ninco), it is recommended to check the guide and adjust the alignment if necessary.
It features the Shark 21.5 EVO motor in Sidewinder layout, meaning the motor is parallel to the rear axle. This configuration lowers the centre of gravity and enhances traction, especially on corner exits.
Yes, NSR slot cars are compatible with the main track systems on the market, including UNIVERSAL track (Scalextric, Ninco) and SPORT track (Scaleauto, Slot.it). In some cases, it may be advisable to check the guide alignment depending on the type of track.
No special preparation is needed. NSR adjusts its cars at the factory to be competitive from the outset. We recommend an initial run-in at reduced power to settle the tyres and rear-end components.
Yes. NSR has a wide range of spare parts —motors, crown gears, pinions, axles, tyres, guides, and braids— that allow for easy maintenance and customization of the car. It is one of the brands with the best availability of spare parts on the market.
It is a slot car in 1/32 scale, the most widely used standard scale in the world of competitive slot racing and collecting.
According to the information available in the product description, car nº11 from Ecurie Filipinetti participated in the urban circuit of Vila Real in 1972 in the colours of the Swiss team. For complete driver details, we recommend consulting the historical race records.
The NSR Lola T290 nº11 Vila Real 1972 (ref. NSR0628SW) is a 1/32 scale slot car featuring the Shark 21.5 EVO motor in Sidewinder configuration, faithfully reproducing the Ecurie Filipinetti livery from the classic Portuguese street circuit. A must for endurance classic slot car collectors and club racers looking for a ready-to-race prototype with outstanding historic detail.
