Hot Wheels Creates Stunning Life Size X-wing Fighter Carship

Remember the jaw-dropping life size Darth Vader car that was built by the amazing team at Hot Wheels and unveiled at SDCC two years ago? Of course you do. Nobody who saw that car in person (or read about in on the web) will ever forget it. Hot Wheels has released the YouTube video below of a new life size addition that is ready to burn rubber right alongside the Vader car.

 

The iconic Star Wars X-wing Fighter’ is reimagined as a high performance Hot Wheels racecar equipped with a 2.0 liter 16 valve DOHC engine, AP dual piston calipers with slotted rotors, and custom Slick tires to out-maneuver the Empire and save the galaxy. Don’t miss the X-wing Fighter’ Carship when it speeds into San Diego Comic-Con International on Wednesday, July 20th and look out for die-cast 1:64 scale Carships at a retailer near you later this year!

For more information on how this car was designed (after seeing the video above, who wouldn’t want to know more), point your browser towards this making-of video.
