Manecks Novelties T-180

The Manecks Novelties T-180 is a car featured in the Speed Racer film.

Appearance
This western-themed T-180 numbered 89 and sponsored by Manecks Novelties has three different versions in the film. Two of them appear at Fuji Helexicon, while the third one appears at the Grand Prix.

Billy Steel-belted's car has a bluish gray color with red and yellow decals, as well as having a red plaid pattern on top of the vehicle; the second car at Fuji is blue with yellow and orange decals, and a red plaid pattern on top; the third car seen at the Grand Prix is gray with blue and white decals, coupled with a blue plaid pattern on top.

Fuji Helexicon
Billy's car is in the front of the pack at Fuji and it is tasked with taking out Speed Racer by Royalton's orders. It fails and causes Taejo Togokahn to crash into Billy Ray, all the while the 89 goes off track and possibly lands in the water.

If you look closely, a second version of this vehicle can be seen in the background during the same race. It is consistently seen in last place in all shots it appears in.

Grand Prix
The Grand Prix car is initially parked in the back row of the field. After the race starts, it is first seen in the Moguls with the orange Thistle, the blue T-180, the Shinseido T-180, the Mach 6, and the Matryoshka. It can also be seen in various other shots.
