Rastar 1:14 BMW i8 Remote Control Car with USB Charger — Officially Licensed
A futuristic BMW with three rare features in one RC car. This officially licensed Rastar 1:14 scale BMW i8 remote control car with USB Charger combines the iconic looks of BMW's hybrid sports coupé with scissor doors that open by remote control, a built-in rechargeable battery that charges via USB cable (no AA batteries for the car), extra bright LED headlights and taillights, 2.4GHz multi-car racing capability, and premium RC engineering — 4-wheel independent suspension, front shock absorbers, differential mechanism, and adjustable wheel alignment. Approximately 33.5 cm long. Factory-assembled and ready to drive out of the box. Recommended for ages 6+. One of the most feature-packed Rastar RC cars in our range.
Scissor Doors That Open By Remote Control
This is the standout feature kids notice immediately: the BMW i8's iconic scissor doors open at the touch of a button on the remote control — no need to lift them by hand. Press the door-open button on your remote, and the doors swing upward in classic supercar fashion. Press again to close. It's a level of remote-control interactivity that very few RC cars at this price offer, and a feature kids show off to friends within minutes of unboxing.
USB Rechargeable — No AA Batteries for the Car
This is the "with USB Charger" version of the BMW i8, and it's a meaningful upgrade over standard AA-battery RC cars:
-
Built-in rechargeable battery powers the car directly — no need to install (and constantly replace) 5 × AA batteries
-
USB charging cable included — plug into any standard USB power source (phone charger, laptop, power bank)
-
Typical charge time: approximately 2-3 hours for full charge, providing 20-30 minutes of driving per charge
-
Save money long-term — typical Rastar RC cars burn through 5 × AA batteries every 2-4 weeks of regular play
-
Better for the environment — fewer disposable batteries in landfill
The remote controller still uses 2 × AA batteries (which last much longer because the controller draws far less power than the car). Always charge under adult supervision.
Extra Bright LED Headlights & Taillights
The headlights illuminate as the BMW i8 drives forward, and the taillights illuminate when reversing — adding realistic supercar drama. Competitor reviewers describe them as "extra bright," especially impressive during indoor sessions in dimly lit rooms.
2.4GHz Multi-Car Racing
The 2.4GHz radio frequency is interference-free — meaning multiple Rastar RC cars can race together at the same time without signal drop-out. Race the BMW i8 against any other 2.4GHz Rastar in your collection — Lamborghini, Ferrari, Bugatti, Porsche, McLaren, or other BMW models (sold separately).
The dual-grip controller is comfortable for little hands and easy to learn. Five functions: forward, reverse, left, right, and stop — plus the door-open/close button. Top speed approximately 8 km/h, with a remote range of up to 30 metres — plenty for indoor driving, hallway runs, or backyard fun on smooth surfaces (timber floors, tiles, concrete, asphalt — not suitable for grass, sand, gravel, or thick carpet).
Premium Build Quality
The BMW i8 isn't a budget RC car — it's built with proper engineering features:
-
4-wheel independent suspension system keeps all four wheels in contact with the floor
-
Front shock absorbers smooth out bumps without bouncing the body
-
Differential mechanism keeps the car stable through corners — meaning it actually drives well, not just looks good
-
Adjustable wheel alignment — fine-tune the tracking if needed
-
Detailed silver-style rims wrapped in soft-grip rubber tyres
-
Streamed body line with smooth, rounded edges (child-safe)
-
High-gloss metallic paint finish in striking black
-
Detailed interior including stereo equipment, steering wheel, leather-look seats — visible through the i8's distinctive transparent panels
-
Quality ABS plastic body — durable, scratch-resistant, non-toxic
A Faithful Replica of BMW's Hybrid Sports Coupé
The BMW i8 is one of the most distinctive cars BMW has ever built — a low-slung plug-in hybrid sports coupé produced from 2014 to 2020 with futuristic aerodynamic styling, signature scissor doors, and the unique combination of a 1.5-litre turbo three-cylinder engine with an electric motor. Famous for appearing in Mission: Impossible — Ghost Protocol and various concept-car showcases, the i8 was one of the first production hybrid sports cars and remains a design icon. This 1:14 scale model captures its unmistakable wedge profile, signature kidney grille, sculpted air channels, and dramatic rear haunches.
