About this title

Storyline

Professor Kabuki has created a gigantic new solar-powered vehicle, the Gattiger, that can reach the insane speed of 300 mph. The project is the result of Kabuki's revolutionary invention, the Solar Energy Engine. The Gattiger can be disassembled into five separate regular vehicles which are similar to Formula 1 race cars, but each have different combative and competitive abilities. Kabuki also delegates each of the vehicles to five professional race car drivers of his choosing. One of them is his son Joe. However, he warns the drivers of the threat from the Demon Empire, a crime syndicate that will stop at nothing to obtain the Gattiger and use the Solar Energy Engine to become unstoppable. The syndicate soon kills Kabuki and Joe and his four friends must use the Gattiger vehicles to travel around the world and stop the syndicate and its leader, Emperor Black Demon and his Queen Demon, who have people on almost every continent. However, Joe is met with shock when he discovers during his mission that his thought-to-be-dead mother is somehow alive and part of the conspiracy. Kabuki's colleague Dr. Waitazuki helps Joe and his Tiger Team keep the vehicles in top condition.
