Car Culture: Team Transport is a premium series of 2-car sets beginning in 2018, consisting of a premium car and transporter, both in a similar livery. It’s all about the transportation of cars to their destination.
The Lancia Stratos Turbo is a silhouette race car built to Group 5 regulations around 1975. These cars were designed by Nicola Materazzi; these cars were moderately successful but were unable to beat the Porsche 935s they raced against. Two were produced and the cars were retired in 1977.
The initial livery of the Stratos GP5 features the number “829”; this number was not worn on any of the actual cars (these cars bore the numbers 539 or 598), but may likely be a reference to the internal designation of the Stratos, Tipo 829.
The Sakura Sprinter is a Hot Wheels casting which debuted in the 2018 Car Culture: Team Transport Series. It is a Hot Wheels original design based on a ‘Japanese-Style Box Truck’ and bears resemblance to the Hino ZM Series COE of the 1960’s and 70’s. It has an opening rear door which serves as a ramp to drive a car into the plastic cargo box. hotwheels.fandom.com
