Abstract
A family of toy cars includes a plurality of components, which cooperatively translate a motive force applied to a finger engagement structure into motion of the toy car in a horizontal plane. The toy car system includes a chassis, a body, a finger engagement structure, a pair of front wheels rotatably coupled to the chassis, and a pair of rear wheels rotatably coupled to the chassis. Each of the front pair of wheels may be coupled to the front suspension by a castered coupling. The toy car may include a steering linkage between the front wheels configured such that the front wheels turn in unison in response to the motive force applied to the toy car.
