The Volkswagen T2 or Volkswagen Type 2 is one of the most iconic cars ever. Also called a Transporter, a Kombi, a Camper, and a Bus among other endearing names. This new release by Hot Wheels gives us the Pickup version in all its resto-mod glory.
It’s got custom bumpers, side skirts, and is built as a flatbed with lowered suspension. The front fascia is still unmistakably a Volkswagen Bus, but the stance alone tells you that it is something special. The first time I saw this on the pegs I immediately grabbed it and bought it. It is something that has a visual impact that catches your eye. It gives off a feeling that it is something familiar and different at the same time.
Unfortunately, I was never able to get my hands on the Super Treasure Hunt version released in the Volkswagen series in 2019. Still, I’m pretty happy with this normal version.
