Description
The Time Attaxi is a Hot Wheels original model designed by Jun Imai. The design is based on the Toyota Crown Comfort, which is commonly used as taxis in Japan, Hong Kong and Singapore. Modified with an external front-mounted oil cooler, on the driver's side, a bullet-style racing mirror and a normal mirror on the front passenger side. Unlike the real Crown Comfort, however, the Time Attaxi is left-hand drive, whereas the real Crown Comfort is right-hand drive only. It also has a massive engine sticking out of the hood and even tailfins which act like a spoiler. 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 engine 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.
This Hot Wheels casting could is based off either a mid 1990s Toyota Crown Comfort or a Nissan Cedric, both of which are the most common models used in [resent-day Hong Kong as Taxis.
The Hot Wheels Time Attaxi was featured in a special event in Need for Speed: No Limits which ran from March 9, 2017 to March 16, 2017.
