Bakusou Kyoudai Let's & Go! WGP[]
The Native Sun is the main race machines of the AR Boomerangs. Unlike other GP machines in the series, it was equipped with the special, energy-efficient Shine Motor, and is powered by a pair of conventional batteries and a pair of solar cells that can be charged through the solar panels using the sunlight. It excels at straight line and cornering.
However, it was a few major flaws. First at all, due to having equipped with 2 types of batteries, the Native Sun is much heavier than the other GP machines. The solar panel itself also present another flaw, as it can't receive sunlight if the panels were blocked by something else (i.e. water drops) and because of that, it was equipped with the wipers. Finally, the Native Sun itself is the most fragile GP machine in the world grand prix due to the implementation of the solar panels.
Later in the series, the Native Sun has its Shine Motor replaced with the much more efficient Sunshine Motor.
