This is a Custom '90 Toyota Land Cruiser. Designed by Kitano Kizo, the 80 series of the Toyota Land Cruiser was the third version of the luxury-oriented Land Cruiser, following on from the 50 and 60 series cars. The car featured new rounded styling compared to other previous luxury-oriented models of the Land Cruiser and featured a full-time AWD system, a variety of engines and swing out back doors. These doors would later be replaced by a tailgate and a hatch in 1994. The car is also known as the Lexus LX 450, Toyota Land Cruiser Autana, Wanli Land Cruiser or the Xinkai HXK5022XSC in various territories, and is nicknamed the Burbuja in Colombia due to its rounded design. Production ended in most territories in 1997, with the car replaced by the 100 series Land Cruiser. 547,375 were produced; this number excludes Venezuelan production who produced it until 2008.

Now this casting was designed by Dima Shakhmatov and introduced in the HW Hot Trucks segment of the mainline. As this is a recent release this is currently its only release.

A curiosity: there is a F52 Turbomac spare tire in the rear.
