Description[]
The Time Attaxi is a Hot Wheels original model designed by Fraser Campbell. The design is based on the Toyota Crown Comfort, which is commonly used as taxis in Japan, Hong Kong and Singapore. It is modified with a widebody kit, exposed intercooler and hood-mounted air filters, a fender-mounted mirror on the driver's side, C-pillar aero-fins, and missing taillights and bumpers. Unlike the real Crown Comfort, however, the Time Attaxi is left-hand drive, whereas the real Crown Comfort is right-hand drive only. This model has multiple special features: the right back door can be slightly opened because it is part of the interior and not part of the body of the model, and the air filters are made with the window piece. The plastic from the window piece is concentrated at those air filters and therefore they appear almost black. There is a textured line on the car's windshield slanting down from the left, which is caused by the injection process of the transparent plastic (to fully fill the air filters). A handheld game console can be seen on the back seats along with a tissue box on the rear shelf.
The Time Attaxi was featured in a special event in Need for Speed: No Limits which ran from March 9, 2017 to March 16, 2017. A panel version of the Time Attaxi, Time Shifter, was introduced in 2017.

2016 card[]
From the back of the 2016 card:
Born: 2016
Birthplace: El Segundo, California
Designer: Hot Wheels®
Specialty: The clock is ticking, you're ready the break the record, AND you've got passengers that need to be dropped off at the airport! The Time Attaxi™ will get you where you need to go, but be prepared for some jaw-dropping, high-speed drift action on the way!
Trivia[]
For the 2016 First Edition of this casting, the Time Attaxi was decorated in the same manner as Hong Kong's Urban Taxis, which according to Hong Kong International Airport are colour-coded depending on the area they service. The red-painted ones, like the first release, service Hong Kong's most central and urbanized areas as well as the airport.
