1991 Silver Bullet 9 AEROFLASH Hot Wheels 1:64












Aeroflash is a depiction of a futuristic all-electric supercar, featuring printed circuitry and large supercapacitors on the rear. It features a wedge design typical of Italian sports cars of the time.
Having been produced for many years, Aeroflash has undergone two major name changes: the casting was originally named Large Charge. For 1985, the casting was renamed Silver Bullet; the casting underwent its final name change in 1992, being renamed Aeroflash for the Gleam Team series. This name is used for the vast majority of the casting's releases; despite this the name "Silver Bullet" still appeared on the base, with "Aeroflash" not being used on the base until 2011.
Aeroflash featured as car #13 of the Highway 35 anniversary event, driven by Street Breed.

1925 Ford Model T-Bucket Hot Wheels 1:64











A T-bucket (or Bucket T) is a hot rod, based on a Ford Model T built from 1915 to 1927, but extensively modified. T-buckets were favorites for greasers.
Model Ts were hot-rodded and customized from the 1920s on, but the T-bucket was specifically created and named by Norm Grabowski in the 1950s. This car was named Lightning Bug, better known as the Kookie Kar, after being redesigned by Grabowski and appearing in the TV show 77 Sunset Strip, driven by character Gerald "Kookie" Kookson. The exposure it gained led to numerous copies being built.
A genuine T-bucket has the two-seater body of a Model T roadster (with or without the turtle deck or small pickup box), this "bucket"-shaped body shell giving the cars their name. A Model T-style radiator is usually fitted, and even these can sometimes be barely up to the task of cooling the large engines fitted. Windshields, when fitted, are vertical glass like the original Model T.
Today, T-buckets remain common. They generally feature an enormous engine for the size and weight of the car, generally a V8, along with tough drivetrains to handle the power and large rear tires to apply that power to the road. The front wheels are often much narrower than the rear wheels, and are often motorcycle wheels.

2016 Cadillac ATS-V R Hot Wheels 1:64











ATS-V.R es la versión para competencias del Cadillac ATS-V Coupe 2016. El auto de carreras engloba más de una década de experiencia en ingeniería V-Series en el primer modelo compacto de alto desempeño de la marca. El nuevo ATS-V.R cumple con las especificaciones internacionales de la FIA GT3, un pedigrí que le podría permitir correr en más de 30 series GT a nivel mundial. También nuevo en el programa, tenemos el revolucionario motor V6 LF4 twin turbo; que para la versión de carreras, es llamado LF4.R y fue desarrollado por los expertos en tren motriz de GM, recibiendo modificaciones específicas de competencia para cumplir con las exigencias de la FIA GT3.

A lo largo del ciclo de desarrollo de 24 meses, el cual utilizó como base el ya construido ATS-V Coupe de alto desempeño, el equipo tomó las respuestas de simulaciones computarizadas, información de generaciones CTS-V.R anteriores y lo último en tecnología de carreras para crear ATS-V.R. En septiembre de 2014, el totalmente nuevo integrante de la escudería Cadillac tocó la pista por primera vez. Desde entonces, el equipo ha avanzado a través de un plan de evaluación que continuará hasta la temporada de competencias. Al acumular kilómetros de prueba en el otoño y el invierno en diversas ubicaciones, los equipo de GM y Pratt & Miller Engineering construyeron simultáneamente los dos autos de carreras primarios.
