For those who don’t remember, in 1998 Nintendo partnered with the car brand Volkswagen to produce 10 Beetle-themed automobiles Pikachuincluding the yellow color, the brown and light stripes, the iconic tail and ears that distinguish the mascot of the franchise from Pokemon. These were given away as contest prizes, and from that moment on they went unnoticed, until recently when one of these cars came to light and is now ready to be owned by some fan with money.
The car went on sale in Facebook Marketplace in Madison, Wisconsinthis same is quoted in $125,000 USD With 170,000 miles, it comes with a remote control that can activate four different Pikachu sounds just like in the anime series. However, some aspects have been changed with respect to the original model, including the engine, wheels and some decals, this is clearly due to the passage of more than 20 years, including the connection N64 playable originally included.
The current owner Kerry K.. She says that she originally bought the car for her two sons, but that she eventually liked it herself so she could race it around her house and so on. It’s a standard car, so buyers will need to be able to drive stick. In addition to gradually adding speeds, that would have been the reason why it is being sold, because it was no longer being used.
