I'm interested in some information on what real vehicles were used in Sailor Moon. So far I know:

90s anime Nephrite's Ferrari Testarossa 512TR (probably 1992 model, though the front bumper seems just slightly different):


90s anime Haruka's Toyota 2000GT convertible:


One I'd really like to know the model of is Eudial's station wagon van:

I know it was probably inspired by the Ecto-1 in Ghostbusters a little bit but it's definitely not the same model of car they used for the Ecto-1, which was a much more retro station wagon with 50s-style tail fins. Eudial's looks more like some kind of 1990s station wagon, I just don't know how to identify which one.

If anyone knows the model of that one, or any other Sailor Moon cars (Mamoru's, etc), I'd be interested to learn more!

(also sorry for popping up out of the woodwork after so long just to post this XD )

@Mitsukara Well, I know that :usagi:'s Dad probably drove a Volkswagen (Beetle or Golf, I'm not 100% sure) at some point (That Onsen Trip Episode)

https://gallery.sailorsoapbox.com/albums/screenshots/sailor moon/episodes/040/episode040-03529.png UPDATE: Yep, definitely either Golf or Passat.

@Rika-Chicchi Other scenes explicitly show the VW Logo. :happy:https://gallery.sailorsoapbox.com/albums/screenshots/sailor moon/episodes/040/episode040-04489.png Looks like the real deal.

P. S.: Is it too late to mention that I actually own quite a number of Car Miniatures? Might take the time to take some pictures for you.

There you go (Sry if the quality is bad, but if I had waited until after Sunset the camera would've complained that the battery's too low):

Spoiler: show



Well, what do we have here: A Ford T-Bird ('56 Model), a BMW Isetta (Remember Steve Urkel?), a Fiat 500 (Lupin the 3rd's car, hence the Figure of Zenigata waiting for arresting Lupin), some kind of Mercedes Limousine thingy (customized 'Führer's Edition', I believe :mischief:), a Pacer, some Oldtimers I could need help to identify yet and last, but not least, several East German Trabants...

P. S.: Obviously, :ami: can't stop stepping on other people's cars! ^_^'

On the 2nd picture, there's a classic Coca Cola Promotion Vehicle, another Mercedes, another BMW and an Oldie that's also a Radio :happy:... Oops, someone has lost their windpipe, it seems!

Well, at least you got the Trabants faster than the East Germans did on the waitlists.
