The name is really long and is called the #121 All Terrain Vehicle Red Salamander/Extreme V by Tomica.

Usually Tomica releases the long series with tractor trailer, construction equipment or vehicle with trailer. This all terrain is a nice addition to the Tomica line and was released around March 2017.
