Griffin’s app controlled helicopters have been a big hit over the past two years. They have a normal helicopter which is powered by an Android or iOS app and then they also have one that fires missiles. Now they’ve turned that remote control technology over to an app powered Moto TC Rally Car.

I actually saw the car in action at a Verizon Wireless store over the weekend and the control is great and it’s fast. You can control it using an iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch. Android users will have to wait for now, but they’ve released all of their other app controlled toys for Android so I’m sure it’s forthcoming.

“MOTO TC Rally isn’t your typical remote-controlled car,” said Erica Kyle, Youth Product Line Manager at Griffin. “We’ve added fun features like the Bump ‘n Run mode that uses impact sensors to detect bumps from other drivers and create an ultra-realistic racing experience so you can get competitive with friends.”

MOTO TC Rally, available now for $99.99, connects to iOS devices via Bluetooth Low Energy (BTLE v4.0) and features super quick maneuvering capabilities via proportional steering, impact sensors that detect bumps and crashes changing the way the car handles, a fully independent, shock-absorbing suspension, power rear-wheel drive, and ground effect lighting.

Drivers can race one of two ways: ‘Race the Clock’ either solo or with friends to beat their best time using the included Lap Counter; or ‘Bump ‘n Run,’ allowing drivers to dish out virtual damage and earn points for attacks on their opponent’s car. Attacks include reducing an opponent’s speed (‘Snare’), tampering with a friend’s controls (‘Randomize’), and flipping their steering wheel (‘Opposite’). The more damage a car incurs, the harder it is to drive. The app also includes bonuses to repair damage, add protective armor, and much more.

The car looks like an authentic TC Rally car it even has sponsor logos from Survivor, Griffin’s high end and ultra rugged case line for smartphones and tablets.

You can pick up the Moto TC Rally Car at Verizon Wireless stores or directly from Griffin here.
