Description[]
The Audacious is a depiction of a modified hatchback with a body kit. This is one of the fantasy castings made that looks and feels like a licensed casting. In 2009 to 2011, the casting was changed where the rear spoiler was made a part of the body instead of the window. Also around this time, the body was plastic as opposed to metal. This made the casting look slightly thinner than the previous iteration. In 2013, the exhaust pipes were made recessed into the body as opposed to sticking out the rear as the body was back to metal, which made the model look somewhat bold and beefy than the previous. If looked close enough, there appears to be speakers in the interior area in the rear of the casting.
