The styling may have received a brightly coloured update, but they are still predominantly made from plastic.

The cars themselves haven’t changed dramatically from the original Anki.

If you don’t have anyone to race against, Overdrive can let you race against up to three AI-controlled cars, either in free race mode or in a tournament mode that lets you level up your car and unlock upgrades to give you an edge on the track. Purists amongst the team said they preferred the more precise physical controls you get with a Scalextric set, but others were happy to use an onscreen slider to adjust their speed. It’s essentially Scalextric, except you can change lanes freely by tilting your handset left and right.

The £149 starter kit includes six 90-degree curved pieces and four straights, plus two riser pieces for up to eight potential layouts. Rather than limit your racing to a mat, the new version includes a number of straight and curved track pieces that can be slotted together in any configuration. That has changed with Anki Overdrive, an updated version which gives you control over the exact layout of your circuits. However, the ‘track’ was printed onto a roll-out mat which meant it lacked the flexibility of a traditional Scalextric set.

You can upgrade your car as you play, and have access to weapons, just like in overdrive.Īnki Drive has a total of seven cars in their lineup. It would either be an oval or figure 8 piece. It was revolutionary in the sense that "slot cars" and "fixed track" racing was completely thrown out of the picture, and cars were not bound to a certain "driving line." Anki Drive also allowed for the sense of a video game in real life, and mixed in fun from many different aspects of life, including car tuning, gaming, and racing, all packed into one advanced system, topped off with wonderful design.Īnki Drive comes with a starter kit, but unlike overdrive the kit, it does not contain " track pieces," but rather, contained a "mat" that cars would drive on. Anki Drive was an all new racing toy that debuted in late 2013. It served as the foundation and tuning ground for Anki's top designers.

Anki Drive is the prequel of the famed Anki Overdrive.
