Description[]
The Go Kart is one of Hot Wheels's most notable designs, containing only a metal body and a plastic seat. It is the lightest Hot Wheels car ever made to date. On the other side of the spectrum, the heaviest Hot Wheels car to date is the VW Drag Bus. It was a playable car in Hot Wheels: Turbo Racing, where it featured extremely poor speed, excellent stunting ability, poor durability, and excellent control. Its stunts are the highest of any vehicle in the game, with the game dubbing it "The Stunt King."
