Adult Disney fans can finally have the car of their dreams. The Hyundai Ioniq 5 Disney100 Platinum Edition “is now available for sale at select Hyundai dealerships,” the company has announced.
The Disney-themed electric vehicle (EV) comes in an exclusive shade of gold, rides on Mickey-Mouse-themed wheels, and wears Disney’s 100th-anniversary logo on both exterior and interior badges.
Hyundai will build just 1,000 copies. Rare means pricey in the car world, even for vehicles that seem like they should sing surrounding traffic a cheerful song on the drive to work.
The mousemobile carries a $59,400 MSRP plus a $1,375 destination fee. That makes it the most expensive Ioniq 5 by a considerable margin. A similarly equipped 320-horsepower dual-motor Ioniq 5 SEL that’s never learned about self-esteem with the help of several singing animal friends can be yours for a $47,400 MSRP. But what fun is that?
If you’re struggling to decide whether to buy one, Disney plans a series of web videos “starring actors and members of the Disney Family Josh Peck and John Stamos” that will kick off today. The pair will road trip to historic Disney locations while…we are not making this up…extolling the car’s virtues and singing a cheerful song that fails to rhyme the word “Hyundai” with anything but…well…” Hyundai.”
