## Description

Disney•Pixar’s Ultimate Lightning McQueen is the top of the line racer that’s packed with personality. With animated eyes, an animatronic mouth, and emotive suspension, experience Lightning like never before. Being a Piston Cup Champion, Ultimate Lightning McQueen was born to race. Connect to the app, hit the gas, and see Lightning respond to your commands with his personality on display, thanks to emotive actions and speech. Watch him lean into hairpin turns and drift like a pro. Use the app to build racing strategy. When you’re not training, kick back and relax by watching Disney•Pixar’s “Cars” with Lightning while he reacts to the movie. This. Is. Lightning McQueen.

Review: Ultimate is an Understatement - Remarkable Product - Fell in love with the droids by Sphero and purchased this as a Christmas gift for a nephew. Amazing details, great driving experience and they nailed the drifting. Works very well on tile and hardwood floors. Its an indoor toy only in opinion, as the tires will wear on concrete as they seem a rubbery finish. Charges fast, about 30 minutes, and the app for the car is very cool with 2 modes to drive. Can drive about 90 minutes before needing a charge which is also good. Interactions are top notch and the voice seems like licensed real voices of Owen Wilson from or by Disney.
Review: So far this toy is amazing. You will need to connect WiFi and Bluetooth ... - So far this toy is amazing. You will need to connect WiFi and Bluetooth to update the audio and firmware but it doesn't take long. My son has been bouncing him off walls with no issues. Needs to charge for a half hour so I updated right off the bat as he needs to be plugged in to update. Well put together and the box he comes in makes excellent storage and holds him stationary during transport. No weird glitches or anything I will update if there are any issues.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This is a fun toy, but not a great RC
*by Q***U on May 26, 2017*

11/28/17 Update - Updated to 5 stars as the developers of the App listened and added traditional 4 way controls to the app. The controls still lag a bit tried with an iPhone 7 Plus, iPad Air 2, iPad Mini 2, iPad Pro and a Galaxy S7, however soooooooooo much better control over the funky circle needing orientation setup. Is it worth $300 ... meh depends, powered it up and disliked the controls being a normal RC guy used to sticks and pistol grips, but seeing my 5 yr old daughter finally play with an RC after trying to get her into RC's ... priceless. If Sphero every adds a traditional stick controls to it's app and I will bump it up to a 5 star
