Chicane (1st Treasure Hunt)

Chicane comes from the French verb chicaner, which means "to quibble" or "to prevent justice".  

A chicane is an artificial feature creating extra turns in a road, used in motor racing and on streets to slow traffic for safety. For example, one form of chicane is a short, shallow S-shaped turn, requiring the driver to turn slightly left and then right again to stay on the road, which slows them down.

 A chicane on the Suzuka Circuit.

In Hot Wheels term, Chicane (designed by: Jun Imai) first appeared in 2005 AcceleRacers Series driven by Karma Eiss. Chicane is powered by a 400HP aluminium and chromium turbocharged DOHC 6.5 liter V6. The V6 is mounted in the center of the racecar. The carbon fiber body is built apon a magnesium chassis with foamed frame,coilovers made a high stability allowing Chicane to be able to drive easily through chicanes. 16"chromium plated front/22"rear wheels on 14"8 piston carbon ceramic brakes. This car is a Teku car with underglow neon. Unlike most AcceleRacers, this car and Bassline have leds. This car is very rare, compared to other AcceleRacers cars. 

My Chicane (162/250) is part of the HW Race series and the 2015 Treasure Hunt set. The chrome car boasts black, red & white graphics and the low production symbol  on the sides. It has red tinted windows, a black interior, chrome Open-Hole 5-spoke wheels with red tires, and a black plastic Malaysia base.



I'm lucky, because i got it at supermarket, standard price.  :)
