The story behind the Kawa-Bug-A
The Kawa-Bug-A stands out as a vibrant tribute to surf culture within the Hot Wheels lineup. Released in 2023, this unique Volkswagen Beetle model was chosen as a winner for that year’s RLC sELECTIONs event. It captures the spirit of classic car customization with its custom roof rack carrying two white surfboards and an open sunroof. Designed by Dwayne Vance under the SKU HNL29, the car features a bold Spectraflame magenta finish paired with crisp white body sides and chrome details. As part of the RLC series aimed at dedicated adult collectors, this model offers premium quality that distinguishes it from standard retail releases.
