Description[]
Kei Swap is a depiction of a highly-modified kei van. It features some design elements from the Mighty K. A boom box, a full set of four MicroFC3 wheels and a mountain bike can be seen in the cargo hold while the front passenger seat has a spilled cup of coffee. The engine mold is reused from Four-1.
In addition to designing this casting, designer Matt Gabe also did the casting's graphics, card artwork and marketing blurb on the rear of the card.

2025 card[]
From the back of the 2025 card:
Born: 2024, El Segundo, California
Designer: Hot Wheels®
This angry, yet adorably cute 90's KEI-style van has been transformed from a utilitarian transporter into a gnarly drift rocket. With a massive swapped engine in the rear, this tiny wonder has no problem kicking the back end out and getting sideways at the track.
