Henes recently unveiled the Broon F8 series,
a child-sized electric "supercar" that has features you probably wish
you had in your own ride. Never mind the independent suspension,
differential steering and adjustable driving modes -- this vehicle has
its own 7-inch Android tablet that serves as both the dashboard and
infotainment control deck (yes, there's a sound system). Junior doesn't
even have to drive at all, since there's a Bluetooth-based remote
control that lets you take the virtual wheel in a pinch.
The Broon F8 will cost much more than your old Power Wheels
kit, but it's relatively reasonable for something with so many creature
comforts. You're looking at between $895 to $1,000 depending on the
drivetrain. The car is meant for kids five and under
(even an eight year old can find it a tight fit), and it's still in the
prototype stage. It'll be a while before your little tykes are
impressing their kindergarten friends.
