Fans of Disney∙Pixar’s Cars, get ready to rev your engines! Disney Consumer Products and Interactive Media (DCPI) launched Cars Daredevil Garage, an exciting mobile app that blends the thrill of collecting Mattel diecast cars with the high-octane action of a virtual stunt world. This app lets you scan your physical toy cars and bring them to life in a digital garage, ready for daredevil challenges.
What is Cars Daredevil Garage?
Cars Daredevil Garage is a free-to-download mobile app designed for Cars enthusiasts of all ages. It cleverly bridges the gap between physical play and digital entertainment. The core concept revolves around collecting Mattel’s 2015 mainline diecast Cars vehicles and scanning them into the app. Once scanned, these cars become playable characters in a virtual world where players can perform incredible stunts in environments inspired by real-world play scenarios.
Starting with Lightning McQueen, players can race and progress through the game to unlock more of their favorite Cars characters. For those eager to expand their digital garage even faster, over 80 additional cars are available for in-app purchase, bringing the total collectable cars to over 160. This vast collection ensures long-lasting fun and encourages players to engage with both the physical diecast cars and the digital app experience.
How to Scan Your Cars and Start Stunting
The magic of Cars Daredevil Garage lies in its scan feature. While the original article doesn’t explicitly detail the how-to scan process, the app is designed to be user-friendly, especially for younger audiences. Here’s a likely breakdown of how to scan your Mattel diecast Cars into the app:
- Launch the App: Open the Cars Daredevil Garage app on your iPhone or iPad.
- Navigate to the “Scan” Section: Look for a clear “Scan” icon or menu option within the app’s interface.
- Prepare Your Diecast Car: Ensure your Mattel 2015 mainline diecast Cars vehicle is ready to be scanned.
- Follow On-Screen Instructions: The app will likely provide visual cues or instructions on how to position your car for scanning. This might involve holding your device’s camera over a specific part of the toy car, possibly the bottom or a designated area.
- Scan and Play: Once the app recognizes the diecast car, it will be digitally added to your garage, ready for racing and stunting action.
By scanning your diecast cars, you’re not just unlocking digital content; you’re bringing your physical collection into a dynamic virtual world, enhancing playtime in a unique and interactive way.
Precision Series: Elevating the Diecast Experience
Alongside the app, Disney announced the Precision Series, a premium line of diecast cars aimed at collectors. These aren’t just regular diecast cars; they are meticulously detailed and movie-accurate collector items featuring articulated parts. Imagine detailed undercarriages, authentic PVC tires, and even suspension. Each character boasts unique elements, such as working lights, specialized engines, and opening hoods, adding a new layer of realism and collectibility.
The Precision Series extends beyond cars to include playsets modeled after iconic locations from the Cars movies, like landmarks in Radiator Springs. These playsets are designed to connect, allowing fans to build their own Radiator Springs main street. Each playset features lights, includes a special diecast car, and is compatible with other Cars story sets from Mattel, creating a comprehensive and immersive Cars universe.
Get Ready to Race
Cars Daredevil Garage is available now for download on the App Store for iPhone and iPad. Mattel’s Cars diecast cars are widely available at major retailers nationwide, making it easy to start your collection and dive into the stunt-filled world of the app. For those eager to see the Precision Series, sneak peeks were available at D23 Expo, with the first playset, Flo’s Café Playset, launching in Fall 2015, followed by more playsets and diecast cars in 2016.
This innovative combination of a mobile app and physical diecast cars offers Cars fans a fresh and exciting way to engage with the franchise, blending collecting, scanning, and high-speed stunt action into one dynamic experience.
