Description[]
The Ion Motors Thresher is based off the vehicle of the same name in the Netflix animated series, Fast & Furious Spy Racers.
Early versions of the casting had base markings reading Tony's Car, likely because a name for the casting had yet to be determined at the time; this was later changed to Ion Motors Thresher for all later versions. The "Tony's Car" base name has so far only been found on the initial 2020 mainline release. A cut-out on the base is present for the casting's action feature, allowing it to extend its guns or its thrusters with the flick of a switch; this is only present on the Spy Racers renditions of the casting. Due to this feature those renditions lack an interior and their windows are blackened; mainline versions of the casting feature full interiors with a piece of the interior sticking down to fill the cavity left by the action feature's switch.
The vehicle was designed by Walter Kim for the television series. For the off-road version, see Ion Motors Thresher (off-road).
