History:
The Mach 5 was the star vehicle of the 1960s anime series Speed Racer (known as Mach GoGoGo in Japan), created by Tatsuo Yoshida. Designed as a futuristic racing machine, the Mach 5 featured a variety of imaginative gadgets such as auto jacks, cutter saws, and a protective canopy, making it as much a hero as its driver, Speed Racer. The car’s sleek design became an enduring icon of Japanese animation, influencing generations of racing-themed media. Beyond the anime, the Mach 5 appeared in toys, comics, and even a live-action film, solidifying its place in global pop culture. Aoshima’s kit pays tribute to this legendary vehicle, offering fans a chance to build and display their own version of one of the most famous cars in anime history.
