Designed by Alton Takeyasu, this unique ride features an intricate gold body with metalflake details that catch the light beautifully. As part of the HW Screen Time assortment, it captures attention not just for its striking design but also because it is classified as a Treasure Hunt model. This designation means it was produced in smaller quantities and can be harder to find among regular releases. Collectors appreciate these special editions due to their limited availability compared to standard cars.
