It looks like McLaren’s new pint-sized electric supercar has some competition on its hands, and it comes from the British constructor’s longtime former partners at Mercedes.
Like the ride-on P1, the new Bobby-AMG GT is designed specifically for the littlest test drivers. Only instead of sitting inside and being motivated by an electric motor, this one is made to be sat on and propelled by tiny feet.
The fifth generation of these ride-on toys offered by Daimler over the last 20 years, this latest iteration draws its inspiration from the Mercedes-AMG GT. It features an adjustable steering column, a single foam-padded seat, and wire-spoke alloys with treaded tires that are designed to not only run quiet, but grip well even on slick interior floor surfaces.
The Bobby-AMG GT comes standard in silver with a red seat, but there’s an upgraded Bobby-AMG GT S as well that features a yellow treatment with black seat and wheels as well as functioning LED headlights and a flat-bottom steering wheel. A special “Tribute to Bambi” edition, benefiting disadvantaged children, is also offered in a limited run of 1,000 examples, decked out in black with a red seat.
They’re all made for Mercedes in Bavaria by BIG toys. Since 1972, BIG has produced over 17 million Bobby Cars in 100 different variants, including three generations of SLK and the SLS AMG.
