This is how it looks:

I think I like it better in red... and for the design as a whole, I would have made the red parts black.
Still - I'd like to own any Hotshot. One of the coolest cars ever.

Yep, a bit disappointing...
It's only the gold wheels (which is good) and the gold body/wing that seem to be the changes. And the gold color on the body don't seem to match the wheels very good.(?)
I would have liked to see a chrome roll bar, and maybe even dampers...
