1970 Ford Torino Cobra Johnny Lightning 1:24












El Ford Torino es un automóvil del segmento D producido por la Ford Motor Company para el mercado de EE. UU. entre 1968 y 1976. Inicialmente fue una versión de lujo de tamaño intermedio del Ford Fairlane, que Ford USA produjo entre 1962 y 1970. Después de 1968, el nombre de Fairlane se mantuvo en los modelos base con menores niveles de ajuste de los modelos que llevaban el nombre de Torino. Durante este tiempo, se consideró el Torino una subserie del Fairlane. En 1970 el nombre de Torino se había convertido en el nombre principal, y el Fairlane era ahora una subserie del Torino. En 1971 el nombre de Fairlane fue eliminado por completo y todos los modelos fueron llamados Torino.
La mayoría de Torino fueron los coches convencionales, y en general los modelos más populares fueron los sedanes de cuatro puertas y techos duros de 4 puertas. Sin embargo, Ford produjo algunas versiones de alto rendimiento del Torino equipándolos con grandes motores de gran alcance, tales como el 428 CID (7 lt) y el 429 CID (7 lt) "Cobra-Jet". Estos coches se clasifican como los muscle car. Ford también optó por el Torino como base para sus participantes de NASCAR, y tiene una herencia de carreras de gran éxito.

1976 Ford Gran Torino STARSKY & HUTCH 1:24 Greenlight






From Wikipedia:
The Ford Torino is an automobile that was produced by Ford for the North American market between 1968 and 1976. It was a competitor in the intermediate market segment. The car was named after the city of Turin (Torino, in Italian), considered "the Italian Detroit". The Torino was initially an upscale variation of the intermediate sized Ford Fairlane. After 1968, the Fairlane name was retained for the base models with lower levels of trim than those models which wore the Torino name. During this time, the Torino was considered a subseries to the Fairlane. By 1970 Torino had become the primary name for Ford's intermediate, and the Fairlane was now a subseries of the Torino. In 1971 the Fairlane name was dropped altogether, and all Ford intermediates were called Torino. This name was one of several originally proposed for the Mustang while in development. The Torino was essentially a twin to the Mercury Montego line.

Most Torinos were conventional cars, and generally the most popular models were the 4-door sedans and 2-door hardtops. However, Ford produced some high-performance versions of the Torino by fitting them with large powerful engines, such as the 428 cu in (7.0 L) and 429 cu in (7.0 L) "Cobra-Jet" engines. These cars are classified as muscle cars. Ford also chose the Torino as the base for its NASCAR entrants, and it has a successful racing heritage.

From Fandom:
 The '69 Ford Torino Talladega is a Hot Wheels casting based on the production car of the same name, debuting in the 2008 New Models. Named after the Talladega Superspeedway racetrack in Alabama, the Ford Torino Talladega was a car produced by the Ford Motor Company during 1969. It was a special racing version of the Ford Torino produced specifically to make Ford competitive in NASCAR during the 1969 racing season. With a V8 engine, a flush-mounted grille and an extended nose for better aerodynamics, this Ford classic was meant for the track, but made for the street.
