The base of the toy car is metal and painted red, the windows have a smoke tint, and the interior is finished in dark gray. The model rolls on black RRA wheels with rubber Real Riders tires. Production takes place in Indonesia. The model was created as part of a collaboration between Hot Wheels and the Eibach brand within the Pop Culture: Speed Shop series, dedicated to companies in the tuning and aftermarket industry. Eibach GmbH is a German manufacturer of automotive coil springs, produced both as original equipment for car manufacturers and for motorsport needs. The company provides suspension components for the racing sector and the aftermarket. The model's decorations use Eibach's corporate white-and-red branding, and the entire release is available exclusively in the limited premium Pop Culture line. The original vehicle is the Volkswagen Type 2, a family of commercial vehicles produced by Volkswagen since 1949. The first generation, designated T1 and designed by Ben Pon, had a split windshield and a rear-mounted engine driving the rear axle. T1 generation production ended in 1967. To this day, this bus remains one of the most recognizable commercial vehicles in automotive history.
