Lots of Disney adults have collections of Disney merch like Minnie ears, mugs, or spirit jerseys. Many of them even have Disney-themed bumper stickers on their cars. But we’re pretty sure no one’s taken it to THIS level before.
If you consider yourself to be a Disney adult or know someone else who fits that description, you’re gonna want to see this.
The Walt Disney Company is celebrating its 100th anniversary, and the celebration has brought lots of new merchandise and experiences throughout the parks. If you’re looking to join in on the celebration in a HUGE way, Disney has just the thing for you — a 100th anniversary CAR. Forget the Minnie ears and popcorn buckets, Disney just took “collectible” to a whole new level.
PR Newswire shared that Hyundai Motor America has announced a new concept car collaboration with Disney. It’s the exclusive IONIQ 5 Disney100 Platinum Concept car shown off at the New York Auto Show to celebrate Disney’s 100th anniversary.
In a first for the company, Hyundai collaborated with Walt Disney Imagineering to develop the unique visual elements and entertainment that draw inspiration from Disney, such as special lighting effects and music. Are those FIREWORKS in the headlights??
According to Angela Zepeda, who is the Chief Marketing Officer of Hyundai Motor America, they are always on the lookout for new ways to connect with customers throughout their entire experience, and they draw inspiration from the magic of Disney to bring moments of happiness to their customers.
Here are some of the features of the Hyundai IONIQ 5 Disney100 Platinum Concept Features:
- Gravity Gold Matte exterior color
- Disney-inspired wheel styles
- Disney100 Platinum Edition exterior badging
- Disney100 logo embossed on front seat headrests and center console
- Disney100 logo on the floormats
- Lamp screens with Disney sparkle animations across headlights and taillights
- Moon roof etching details with a touch of pixie dust
- Disney-themed intro on the interior screen upon turning the car on which features iconic Disney music, the Disney100 logo and pixie dust
- Interior synchronized light show featuring changing light modes
(Details for the actual production model may vary.)
There will be more information coming out later this year. We don’t actually know the price of this car yet, but we’re willing to bet that it’s more expensive than most souvenirs you can get in the Disney theme parks. 😂 Stay tuned to DFB for the latest on Disney and more!

Is the Disney 100 Exhibition in Kansas City cancelled? Haven’t heard any updates since the PA launch. And now it’s already in Munich (?).
