Description
The HKS Altezza ('Tooned) is a Hot Wheels casting which debuted in the 2003 First Editions Series and was designed by Dwayne Vance. It is based on the real life TRB-01 Toyota Altezza customized by the aftermarket parts company HKS.
The Hot Wheels HKS Altezza is a 'Tooned version of the already outrageous real car. It only saw two distinct releases, in the 2003 First Editions Series and an Employee Only 2-Car Set. The Employee Only version was made by the Hot Wheels Model Shop and was given as a gift at Christmas in 2003. It was to commemorate the 35th Anniversary of Hot Wheels and came with a hand signed autograph by Hot Wheels creator Harry Bradley. The HKS Altezza has not been released since 2003.
