Teku
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Teku are a racing team in the movie series Hot Wheels AcceleRacers.
Teku members customize their cars with the latest in audio and visual technology. Each car has speakers capable of very high volume, they are sort of like an Import racing team, much to the dislike of their rivals, the Metal Maniacs.
