It’s a classic case of art imitating life on repeat. This electrochromic green Chevy was jointly designed by GM and Hot Wheels to commemorate the latter’s first die-cast Camaro.
It looks like we are close to seeing the refreshed 2013 Hyundai Genesis Coupe in the buff. Hyundai announced the updated Coupe would debut November 12th in Korea and released a few teaser images of the car on its Korean blog.
Good news, everyone. The long-awaited Ford Focus ST is coming to the 2011 Los Angeles auto show. If you didn’t know yet, the Focus ST is essentially the same car worldwide (except for a wagon version that we won’t see here).
The drivable toy is based on a manual-transmission Camaro SS and has snagged a few ZL1 parts—namely the grille and spoiler—along with a host of unique pieces. We’re especially fond of the hood’s milled black aluminum extractor vents. And the life-size Hot Wheels track the concept is set on is a nice touch.
Hot Wheels devotees (you know who you are) can go to http://www.hotwheelscollectors.com/ for info about purchasing the scale model.
Company representatives tell us that Hutchinson Industries spends about 90 percent of its time focused on military projects, and that includes the manufacture of Rock Monster wheels. The unique two-sided bead lockers are the rare DOT-approved tire clamps, but that’s not what drew our attention to this olive-drab Wrangler.
What did would be the minigun on the roll bar. It’s an intimidating piece, but fear not. It only shoots BBs. Actually, maybe you should fear: It fires about 50 of the little stingers a second, or 3000 a minute, at a muzzle velocity of adjustable between 280 and 600 feet per second, and is said to be capable of inflicting serious or fatal injury at close range. Yeah, go ahead and fear.
