The Van-Pires suck the gas from innocent cars to feed their need for speed and drain the planet of all its fuel.

Only four teenagers transformed by the meteor stand between the Van-Pires and a world sucked dry and running on empty.

The meteor transformed them into heroic robotic guardians to protect the night from the evil forces of Tracula (a reference to "Dracula") and the rest of the Van-Pires.

To transform, each hero gets into the driver's seat of his or her Carfin (a portmanteau of "car" and "coffin") and shouts, "Mission Ignition!"
