Cruise Gotham with the Scalextric Spark Plug Batman Vs Joker Slot Car Set

Throw up the Batsignal and get ready for a high-stakes race!

The Scalextric Spark Plug Batman Vs Joker Set pits the Caped Crusader against the Clown Prince of Crime in a street race through Gotham City. The included slot car track is built for fun with straightaways, a sideswipe section to push enemies off the track, a crossroads for potential high-speed crashes, and a stunt ramp with yellow chevron stripes.

At the center of the action is an exclusive new Batmobile design, which races alongside the Joker Hypercar, a sleek ride that’s decked out with a green roof, a purple body, and a wide grin to emulate the clown’s sinister smile.

The set includes two Spark Plug dongles and Scalextric’s unique Bluetooth-control system with which kids can control their cars from a mobile device using a companion app for iOS and Android.

The new set is one of many new Scalextric cars, tracks, and accessories set for release this year. The Batman Vs Joker set will be available this fall.
