With its manual lift, the Mattel Hot Wheels City Tunnel Twist Car Wash (HTN80) cycles 1:64 scale cars through dual-temperature water tanks. Thermal paint reactions trigger color changes on contact with warm or cold liquid. This version replaces the Vertical Tower with a rotating tunnel, increasing car-to-water contact during the descent.
Key Features
- Dual-Temperature Tanks: With two separate reservoirs for warm and icy water. Submersion triggers immediate paint color shifts.
- Mechanical Lift: Via the hand-cranked elevator, 1:64 scale vehicles reach the summit. Gears prevent failure in high humidity environments.
- Included Vehicle: Inside the box, one 1:64 scale Color Shifter car. Immediate play starts without additional hardware purchases.
- Twisting Tunnel: Through rotating foam rollers, the car descends the track. Physical contact wipes off excess water before exit.
