When someone says ‘go-kart’, you might have fond memories of a childhood birthday party or the last time you played Mario Kart. You probably wouldn’t think: ‘Lamborghini’.
That’s all about to change, though, because the expensive carmaker has partnered with Chinese electronics company Xiaomi to create a miniature Lamborghini race car in the form of a go-kart.
The vehicle, known as the Ninebot GoKart Pro Lamborghini Edition, is made up of a scooter base which can be removed from the base of the tiny racer and used independently, meaning customers actually get two vehicles for the price of one.
That price is a lot more than your average trip to the local go-kart track, but isn’t too bad for a Lamborghini-branded vehicle as it comes in at $1,446. It’s definitely a much cheaper option than an actual Lamborghini, which would typically set you back around $200,000.
The kart could make for the perfect alternative to a splashy sportscar as it is adorned with ‘classic Lamborghini elements’, such as the iconic yellow paint, stickers, badges and the race car-style rear wing.
The kart has anti-collision barriers for increased safety and a tail designed to be aerodynamic for a sports car feel and for a better, more stable drive as you reach the top speeds, which in a four-wheeler will be 24.9 miles-per-hour.
Rather than having to fork out for petrol to fill up your tiny Lamborghini, the kart is powered by a 432-watt hour battery pack that’s also equipped with four air ducts.
