Hot Wheels introduces the official launch of its inaugural Braille car, and it is updated with a modified update of the classic Twin Mill structure. The Braille Racer is made with the help of the National Federation of the Blind which highlights the raised Braille lettering which decorates the sides and chassis.
Mattel shines a spotlight on its inclusive efforts to create toys for children who are blind or visually impaired to explore the car's design through other sensors. The lettering spells out "TWIN" and "MILL" on the sides. The back of the car is detailed with #68 which is a nod to the car's number in the Hot Wheels series. The underside of the car reads "HOT WHEELS TWIN MILL."
