You’ll get 40 minutes of play time from a charge, and of course the charging is done under the fuel cap:) The real emotion and life though comes from the windscreen – a custom trapezoidal screen which shows McQueen’s eyes and really adds some amazing reality to this little guy. There’s a speaker on-board so all the sounds come from the car, while the companion app also entertains you, plus the headlights and rear lights come on to give it life. Good news, easy to drift with a simple button. It’s using that directional facing style left right controls that a Sphero ball uses, I’d prefer to see a simple accelerate, brake and left right set of controls because it’s damn hard to drive – in a short space of time my kids have improved, but not enough to really drive him around a course. The app controls it all, just like all Sphero products – and frankly, my only real gripe is with the car control.

Taking that concept into the Disney owned Star Wars franchise proved a ridiculous hit with the BB-8 toy, and Disney are certainly keen to keep capitalising with this new Ultimate Lightning McQueen. Sphero are the kings of robotics, their basic Sphero rolling boll toy was a hit from its first appearance. This is not your average movie merchandise. ![]() Nothing says impressive like a $500 price tag on a toy car – that is when it’s the Ultimate Lightning McQueen from Sphero. ![]()
