The show originally made its television debut this April on Disney Junior, and currently airs on Wednesdays at 5pm. The series is also available on DisneyLife, Disney’s on-demand service.

The Hot Doggin Hot Rod was designed over the course of eight weeks by a team of eight engineers and experts. The car was created in celebration of the new show that follows Mickey and The Roadster with his main pals – Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck, Daisy Duck, Goofy and Pluto as they race across the globe on action-packed adventures.

The Roadster Racer model measures 2.4 meters in length, and features a ‘28’ on the side, which represents the year in which Mickey Mouse first appeared onscreen in ‘Steamboat Willie’ in 1928, 90 years ago next year.
