Rastar 1:14 BMW i8 with Interior Light Remote Control Car (Silver) — Officially Licensed

The only RC car in our range with a glowing interior visible through a fully transparent windows. This officially licensed BMW i8 with Interior Light remote control car by Rastar is a visual showpiece unlike any other 1:14 scale RC car you'll find — featuring a particular inner light inside the cabin that makes the detailed leather-look interior visible from every angle, extra bright LED headlights AND taillights that illuminate forward and reverse, 12 km/h top speed (faster than typical 1:14 Rastar RC cars), auto-shutdown after 2 minutes of no signal (preserves AA batteries), a 4-wheel independent suspension system with front shock absorbers and rear differential mechanism, adjustable front-wheel alignment, and a detailed cockpit including stereo equipment, steering wheel, leather seats, and rearview mirror — all visible through the transparent windows. The Rastar 1:14 BMW i8 with Interior Light RC car measures approximately 33.1 × 15.25 × 9.2 cm, with full functions: forward, reverse, turn left, and turn right. Press the rear window to toggle the headlights, rear lights, and interior light on/off. Factory-assembled and ready to drive — just add 5 × AA batteries for the car and 1 × 9V battery for the remote controller (not included). Officially licensed by BMW — every detail authentic. Recommended for kids aged 6+. One of the most visually unique BMW RC cars for kids in our entire range.

Unique Interior Light Design

This is the single most distinctive feature of this RC car — and the reason it stands apart from every other model in our range. The BMW i8 with Interior Light features a fully transparent windows design combined with a particular inner lamp inside the cabin — so when the interior light is activated, the entire cockpit glows from within, visible through the see-through windows.

You can see the detailed leather-look seats, steering wheel, dashboard, stereo equipment, and rearview mirror clearly from every angle — even when the car is sitting on the display shelf. When illuminated, it looks like nothing else on the toy shelf. This is the kind of feature that makes the BMW i8 with Interior Light a visual showpiece for kids' bedrooms, display cabinets, and play sessions.

Three Working Lights with Rear-Window Press Control

Beyond the unique interior light, the BMW i8 has fully working front LED headlights and rear LED tail lights — both described as "extra bright" by competitor reviewers. The lighting setup works two ways:

• Automatic operation: Headlights illuminate as the car drives forward. Tail lights illuminate when reversing or braking.
• Manual control: Press the rear window to toggle the headlights, rear lights, and interior light on/off at any time.

The combination is genuinely impressive — especially during indoor driving sessions in dimly lit rooms where all three lights bring the BMW i8 to life.

12 km/h Top Speed — Faster Than Typical

This is also one of the faster RC cars in our 1:14 range. The BMW i8 with Interior Light hits approximately 12 km/h top speed — about 50% faster than the standard 8 km/h of most Rastar 1:14 models. The added speed makes it especially fun on smooth indoor surfaces or driveways, where the BMW i8's stream-flow aerodynamic body actually has room to stretch out.

Premium Build Quality

This isn't a flimsy display piece — the BMW i8 with Interior Light is built with proper engineering features that match its premium real-world inspiration:

• 4-wheel independent suspension system keeps all four wheels in contact with the floor for grip
• Front shock absorbers smooth out bumps without bouncing the body
• Rear differential mechanism keeps the car stable through corners
• Adjustable front-wheel alignment — fine-tune the tracking if needed
• Detailed alloy-style rims wrapped in rubber tyres for proper traction
• Stream-flow body work with smooth, child-safe edges
• Metallic paint finish in silver (or white, depending on stock)
• Quality ABS plastic body — durable, scratch-resistant, non-toxic, child-safe

Simple, Reliable Single-Car Control

This BMW i8 uses a 27.145 MHz radio frequency. Here's what that means in plain language:

• Perfect for single-car play — reliably controls one car at a time without issues
• Older but proven technology tier vs the newer 2.4GHz used on some of our other Rastar RC cars
• The trade-off — multiple 27MHz cars on the same channel can interfere with each other. For multi-car racing, look at our 2.4GHz BMW models (BMW Z4 Roadster, BMW M4 with USB Charger, BMW i8 with USB Charger — sold separately).
• For most kids playing solo, this is completely reliable — and the unique interior light feature gives it premium "wow factor" regardless of the frequency tier.

We mention this upfront because we believe in honest product information.

BMW's Futuristic Hybrid Coupé

The real BMW i8 (2014-2020) is one of the most futuristic cars BMW has ever built — a plug-in hybrid sports coupé combining a 1.5-litre turbo three-cylinder petrol engine with an electric motor for a combined 369 hp, signature scissor doors that open upward, and aerodynamic styling that won numerous design awards. Famous for its appearance in Mission: Impossible — Ghost Protocol, the i8 was BMW's first production hybrid sports car. This 1:14 scale model captures its distinctive aerodynamic silhouette in faithful detail.
