QUOTE 3) The motor is the same as current SPORT cars.
It is generally considered that the motor in the current Sport cars is identical to the motor in the non-Sport cars. ie all Scalextric motors are the same within production tolerances, no matter what.

But it has been hinted that an alternative motor may become available for the next range of cars. Personally, I don't think it is needed, but there will be disagreement here, no doubt of that!

Actually, Mope NOTHING is verified unless 'verify' has radically changed its definition recently.

It is perfectly possible that some or none of this will ever see the light of day and, until it does, it remains purely speculative. When/IF Scalextric themselves make official statements would be a more appropriate time to use that word. We all love a bit of gossip but please let's be very careful how we present it in order not to mislead readers.
