No sooner has the new Toyota Grand Highlander been officially presented than the world's largest car manufacturer has a special edition ready. A cooperation with Nintendo make it possible. A maximum of 500 Toyota Grand Highlander customers will win a Nintendo Switch OLED console and the video game Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. Today we would like to introduce you to the promotional vehicle, which looks like a gigantic, rolling video game console on the inside.
Promotional vehicle for Nintendo!
The white, blue and red livery looks like someone tried the classic ones M colors transferred from a BMW to a Toyota. However, the color combination is also the trademark of Super Mario, probably the most famous video game character in the world. However, the rims with a red finish do not necessarily look coherent on the vehicle. White rims in JDM Style would work much better. But hey, that's the way it is! Except for the rims and the foiling there are no other modifications to the exterior.
Inside, a giant video game screen dominates!
The first two rows of seats in the Grand Highlander have changed little, apart from the use of red leather on the seats. The surprise follows in the third row, where a giant Nintendo screen with a home cinema sound system shows the technical possibilities that are possible. A huge screen is also installed in the trunk, which broadcasts the images of the video game live.
There is also a terminal for controlling the games via touchscreen in the rear. Unusual is the fact that not all of the unique features of the Switch OLED can be found in the rolling arcade based on the Grand Highlander. However, potential customers should be surprised with the details after switching on the new console.
Hybrid drive provides plenty of power!
The maximum system performance of the full hybrids be. A 2,4-liter turbo petrol engine, which is supported by an electric drive, bears witness to the intention to make the hybrid drive significantly sportier. The colossus needs just 6,3 seconds to sprint from 0 to 100 km/h. 20 years ago, these values were still good enough to outperform a Golf GTI. For an SUV that is 5,11 meters long and weighs more than 2,5 tons, the driving performance is impressive. Power is transmitted permanently to all four wheels via an automatic transmission.
