Description
The Low C-GT is a uniquely 'tooned (from cartooned) version of an LMP-style racer and is a so-called Drop Top. The Drop Tops were introduced in 2005 as flattened, cartoon-like versions of various vehicles. These cars are known to perform well on track sets as they benefit from their low center of gravity. The Low C-GT has a similar spoiler placement and basic body layout as Mid Drift. Re-releases of Drop Tops vehicles have been somewhat limited. The name Low C-GT is a play on the term "center of gravity": the car is low, which results in a low center of gravity. The base has a cut-out for the Hot Wheels logo. The wing is ingeniously designed to be part of the window piece.
