Kuala Lumpur, 5th October 2023 - Shell Malaysia is shifting into high gear with the launch of an exclusive line of remote-control cars, created in collaboration with The Walt Disney Company Southeast Asia. This remarkable collection fuses Shell V-Power's cutting-edge technology with the timeless charm of beloved Star Wars characters, giving birth to the world's first-ever Star Wars™ Racers Collection, destined to captivate both fans and enthusiasts alike.

Taking inspiration from the eternal battle between light and dark, this limited-edition series comprises six uniquely designed remote-control cars, featuring:

1. Darth Vader™ Racer

2. Stormtrooper™ Racer

3. Darth Maul™ Racer

4. The Mandalorian™ Racer

5. Boba Fett™ Racer

6. BB-8™ Racer

This eagerly anticipated collection was meticulously crafted to embody the essence of iconic Star Wars characters, paying homage to Shell's enduring legacy and the passion for Star Wars stories in Malaysia.

The sleek and foreboding Darth Vader™ Racer draws its inspiration from the infamous Star Wars character, with a car grille resembling Vader's mask and gleaming LED rear lights that mirror his piercing eyes.

On the other hand, the Stormtrooper™ Racer, symbolizing the might of the Imperial Army, adopts a clean, minimalist look in a high gloss white finish.

Completing the 2023 lineup is a design inspired by the loyal astromech, BB-8, with a futuristic, compact, and spherical design in its signature orange and white livery.

During the launch ceremony, Seow Lee Ming, General Manager of Shell Mobility Malaysia, expressed, "The response to our annual limited-edition collection has been nothing short of extraordinary. Shell V-Power enthusiasts are some of the most passionate people, and we know timeless stories like Star Wars continue to resonate among fans of all ages in Malaysia. We knew we had to celebrate these passionate communities, and we hope fans will have tons of fun collecting and racing with this new collection."

Lee Ming further revealed that Shell Malaysia is honored to be the first in the world to incorporate Star Wars-inspired racing car designs not only on toy cars but also in digital versions that players can explore in their Shell Racing mobile app.

"Just like Shell V-Power fuels the inner racing passion in our customers, this exciting collection reflects our understanding of local fans, a passion for innovation, and pushing boundaries to deliver unbeatable experiences for our customers of all ages, our testament to continuing to be better by far," emphasized Lee Ming.
