Hotwheels Volkswagen Kafer Racer imported premium 1:64 scale
The Volkswagen Käfer Racer (with "Käfer" pronounced as "Kaefer", meaning 'beetle' in German) is a Hot Wheels original model that is based on a Volkswagen Beetle, and was designed by Mark Jones. His objective was "to find the ultimate, crazy racing VW", but one that Volkswagen would agree to because of licensing. Jones took a Custom Beetle and added some parts to the underside and the back. The Käfer Racer appears to have taken inspiration from a VW Beetle Super Saloon and VWs racing in the Fun Cup. The first release was inspired by the Momo-sponsored Porsche 935/78-81 'Moby Dick' raced by Gianpiero Moretti in the IMSA GT series in the early 1980s. The car has downforce tunnels on the underside of the Beetle, a V8 engine with two exhaust pipes sticking out, and an air scoop on the roof.
Hot Wheels Premium offers unparalleled craftsmanship and performance. Elevate your collection with these exquisite models, where every car tells a story of precision and passion.
