Mitsubishi Creates Hello Kitty Car

Hello Kitty CarMitsubishi has created a Hello Kitty car called Princess Kitty. It is just a vehicle created as part of a promotion and not a new line of Hello Kitty vehicles. Autoblog explains how the Hello Kitty design is apparent on both the outside and the inside of the car.

The Princess Kitty is finished in pink, with matching paint applied to the wheels. The Hello Kitty trademark ribbon logo is applied to the front doors and roof, while the rear doors get a “Princess Kitty” graphic with the lovable cartoon character’s face. The back window also gets a large Hello Kitty face decal. The sideview mirrors feature Hello Kitty’s face in relief.

Inside, occupants rest on pink-and-white striped seatcovers adorned with the “Princess kitty” logo. The headrest covers are the shape of Hello Kitty’s head, complete with ribbon on the left ear. It may be the friendliest-looking kei car ever made.

It is friendly looking and it would definitely get the driver noticed. Autoblog has more photographs of the car and close-ups of the inside and the vehicle’s cat-shaped seats. Autoblog also has a link to the Happy Drive website which is part of the Hello Kitty campaign for Mitsubishi. You can see Hello Kitty dancing on the website if you follow one of the links on the bottom right. The website also includes Hello Kitty commercials.

    Mitsubishi’s “Princess Kitty” edition…

    Mitsubishi Motors tied up with Sanrio to release the Mitsubishi i Hello Kitty “Princess Kitty” edition in Japan. This is certainly a one of kind vehicle as we seldom see a car with a pink finish much less a cartoon character inspired one….
