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.

1996 Jaguar XK8 Hot Wheels 1:64

The XK8 was launched in 1996 to replace the XJS designed by then Jaguar design director Geoff Lawson. It was available in two body styles - a three-door hatchback coupé and two-door convertible with both variations featuring 2+2 seating. The car was the first in the Jaguar line-up to use Jaguar's newly developed 32-valve V8 engine - the AJ-V8 which had a displacement of 4.0 litres.

The XK8 was joined by a more powerful XKR in 1998. The XKR featured a supercharged variation of the V8 engine rated at 276 kW (375 PS; 370 hp). The engine was shared with the XJR but featured a new intercooler and a two-piece driveshaft. The supercharger was manufactured by Eaton and displaced at 2.0 litres. It generated 11.9 pounds of boost pressure to contribute to the higher power output. Visual differences from the XK8 included a rear spoiler, mesh front grille and hood louvres on the bonnet for improved airflow to the engine.

The XK8 came standard with 17-inch alloy wheels, while 18-inch (standard on the XKR), 19-inch, and 20-inch wheels were available for the XK8 and XKR at an additional cost. Jaguar's Adaptive Cruise Control is an optional feature available on both models. Both models came with all-leather interior, burl walnut trim, and side airbags. Two interior configurations were offered, the sport configuration was aimed at young buyers and had a leather interior with cloth seats while the classic trim featured more amenities.

The XK range received a mechanical update in 2002 with the engines in both the XK8 and XKR models being enlarged to 4.2 litres and gaining more power, the front headlamps were also updated by the addition of a clear lens. Further changes included new exterior colours and wheels along with different badging. The models were revised again in spring 2004 and notable changes included new wheel designs, bigger front and rear spoilers and a redesigned grille.

Initially, the ZF 5HP24 five-speed automatic transmission was coupled to the conventionally aspirated 4.0-litre model and a Mercedes W5A580 five-speed transmission to the supercharged version, but in 2002 the new ZF 6HP26 six-speed automatic transmission was fitted in both versions of the 4.2-litre model.

2015 Renault R.S. 01 Hot Wheels 1:64

El Renault Sport R.S. 01 es un automóvil de carreras cuyo diseño ha sido inspirado en el Renault DeZir concept presentado en 2010 y en el Renault Étoile Filante, que superó el umbral de los 300 km/h (186 mph) en las planicies saladas de Bonneville en 1956. El R.S. 01 fue originalmente creado para una serie "spec" de una sola marca, ha generado tanto interés que los ingenieros lo han modificado para poder homologarlo en la categoría GT3.

Estaba equipado con un motor V6 central-trasero que desarrolla 500 CV (493 HP; 368 kW) y una velocidad máxima superior a los 300 km/h (186 mph). El paquete se complementa con un tipo de carrocería monocasco, fabricada con fibra de carbono. El R.S. 01 sería una de las estrellas de las World Series by Renault, dentro de un campeonato totalmente nuevo de Renault Sport Trophy que sería la antesala de los campeonatos profesionales de GT y de Resistencia.

Participaría en la serie francesa GT Tour. En dicha competencia el coche estuvo presente en el evento final llevado a cabo el 24 de octubre en el Circuito Paul Ricard, una semana después del final de la temporada del Renault Sport Trophy.

Los frenos carbono-cerámicos han sido cambiados por discos de acero, mientras que el coche competía con 50 kg (110,2 libras) de lastre adicionales a los 25 kg (55 libras) que se añadieron por modificaciones.

El V6 biturbo de 3799 cm³ (3,8 L; 231,8 plg³) es derivado del Nissan GT-R, el cual está acoplado a una transmisión secuencial de siete velocidades que envía la potencia a las ruedas traseras del coche.
