Inspired by a Japanese sword of the same name in Japanese mythology, the Raikiri has sharp and crisp edges that can be found over its bodyshell. It has the sharp headlights and the signal lights with the style inspired by sports cars, specifically the 2016 revival of the Honda/Acura NSX.

The underneath of the bodyshell was designed to allows smooth and twister-like airflows.

Trivia[]

  • Raikiri would later get a radio control counterpart in the form of Raikiri GT, designed as a racing version (implying that the Mini 4WD version is the road car model). Originally, Raikiri GT was designed for nitro-engine (TG10-Mk.2 FZ) chassis[1], but an electric version (with white bodyshell and TT-02 chassis)[2][3][4] was later released. Simply installing a rear wing to the Mini 4WD version of Raikiri can slightly replicate the look of the Raikiri GT.
