Hot Wheels RLC Exclusive: Volkswagen Drag Bus – Pink Edition
The heavyweight champion of the die-cast world gets a high-fashion makeover. Originally debuting in 1996, the Volkswagen Drag Bus has become one of the most iconic and sought-after castings in Hot Wheels history. This Red Line Club (RLC) exclusive iteration takes that legendary status and dips it in a striking, vibrant pink that demands center stage in any collection.
Design & Performance Features
This isn't just a toy; it’s a masterclass in die-cast engineering. The RLC Drag Bus is built with a level of detail that honors its drag-racing roots while embracing a premium, collector-grade finish.
Spectraflame Pink Finish: The star of the show. This deep, metallic pink paint job catches the light with incredible depth, a hallmark of the RLC line.
Opening Body: True to its dragster DNA, the entire die-cast body hinges upward to reveal the meticulously detailed, chrome-plated engine and interior.
Heavyweight Chassis: Featuring a full metal-on-metal construction (die-cast body and chassis), this piece has the signature "heft" collectors love.
Real Riders Wheels: Equipped with authentic Deep Dish Real Riders wheels and branded tires for a realistic, aggressive stance.
Detailed Graphics: Subtle but sharp deco, often featuring the classic VW logo and RLC-specific branding that highlights its limited-edition nature.
Why It’s a Must-Have
The Volkswagen Drag Bus is notoriously one of the "heaviest" Hot Wheels castings ever made, designed by the legendary Phil Riehlman. In this limited Pink Edition, it bridges the gap between raw power and high-end aesthetic. Whether you're a VW enthusiast or a hardcore RLC completist, this bus is a high-octane statement piece.
Note: As an RLC exclusive, this model was produced in limited quantities, making it a "grail" item for those looking to round out their Spectraflame rainbow.
