Mini 4WD Wiki

The Hurricane Sonic (Japanese: ハリケーンソニック, Harikēn Sonikku) is a Fully Cowled Mini 4WD car released by Tamiya in December 1996.

It was featured in the manga and anime Bakusou Kyoudai Let's & Go! and Bakusou Kyoudai Let's & Go! WGP as Retsu Seiba's 4th machine, preceded by the Vanguard Sonic and succeeded by the Buster-Sonic.

General info[]

The Hurricane Sonic shares the similar design with the Cyclone Magnum, except with key differences.

The front cowls' design is more smooth than the Magnum's and a additional front spoiler was attached in between them. There's the large, wide rear spoiler with 3-step flaps on the sides. 

Hurricane Sonic and Premium variant[]

Both the standard and Premium variants featuring the very same color scheme as its predecessors, with the racing white body color (pure white on Premium variant) with the same smooth stripes body decals that has red and green highlights. Above the 'Retsu' emblem on the front nose is the 'H Sonic' decals. 

The standard variant was equipped with the fluorescent yellow, small diameter 6-spoke TZ-type wheels paired with the high profile slick tires, while the Premium variant was equipped with the yellow small diameter 5-spoke Saber-type low-profile wheels paired with low profile slick tires. The chassis frame and A parts of the standard variant were molded in black, while the Premium variant has the chassis frame and A parts molded in metallic gray and red. Only the Premium variant comes with a standard motor.

Limited Gold Plated[]

The limited Gold Plated variant features the gold plated bodyshell, smoke chassis frame and white A parts. Other than that, it is mostly the same as the standard variant.

21st Century Edition[]

The Charatoru-exclusive 21st Century Edition models are consists of four color models: White, pink, clear red and black. The body decals works best with the white model.

Depends on the models, it comes in either the white chassis frame, pink A parts and white tires or gray chassis, white A parts and gray tires. All models shares the red-plated wheels.

Bakusou Kyoudai Let's & Go! series[]

In the manga, shortly after losing to Brett Astaire and his Buck Blader in a race long before the 1st World Grand Prix opening, Retsu created the Hurricane Sonic, taking the hints from Jun's bicycle and the Paraglider.

In the anime, the machine was developed and created by Retsu, using the equipments from Professor Ogami's lab. Like the Cyclone Magnum, the Hurricane Sonic is also a super-downforce machine in a different way; Rather than using speed to create downforces, the Hurricane Sonic's body can create downforces using the ground effects.

The Hurricane Sonic was eventually replaced by Buster-Sonic later in the manga and the WGP anime.
