Jurassic World Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG 6X6 Jada 1:24
Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG 6×6 was an SUV manufactured by Mercedes-Benz. A derivative of the Mercedes Geländewagen, it was the companies largest and second most expensive street-legal SUV, manufactured by Magna Steyr in Graz, Austria.
The G63 AMG 6×6 features six-wheel drive running on 5.5L, 536-hp, 561-lb-ft twin-turbo DOHC 32-valve V-8 AMG engine. The G63 AMG 6×6 was fitted with Mercedes' 7G-tronic seven-speed automatic transmission; its transfer case can alter between a 0.87:1 high-range ratio for on-road driving and 2.16:1 low-range ratio for off-road conditions to all six wheels in a nominal 30:40:30 split. An extra shaft delivers power to the rearmost axle. The vehicle had five electronic differential locks, which can deliver 100% lockup of all six wheels, operated by three switches on the dashboard.
The G63 AMG 6×6 is 5875 mm in length, 2110 mm in width and 2210 mm in height, having ground clearance of 460 mm and fording depth at 1000 mm. It has arch axles, almost similar to those fitted on Unimog vehicles. The vehicle was installed with 37-inch wheels featuring bead-plate design, 4196-mm wheelbase (front axle to rearmost axle) had 4105 kg of curb weight. The G63 AMG 6×6 could deliver 0–60 MPH in 7.8 seconds with a top speed limited to 100 MPH. It appears in the movie Beyond the Reach and also featured in Jurassic World.
The G63 AMG 6x6 featured a compressor which allowed to reduce or increase tyre pressure in order to adapt the traction to the driving surface, especially in desert like environments. Therefore, the compressor filled four containers with 20 litres each to allow fast inflation of the tyres. This made it possible to change from sandy deserts to regular streets in less than twenty seconds.
The Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG 6×6 was launched in early 2013. The company decided to stop sales of the car and declared the model completely sold out in early 2015 to maintain model's exclusivity. Mercedes-Benz managed to sell more units of G63 AMG 6×6 than originally anticipated. The last customer delivery of G63 AMG 6×6 left the G-Class factory in Graz, Austria in May 2015.

1934 Ford Coupe Hardtop 1:24 Motormax
A coupé (US coupe) (from the French past participle coupé, of the infinitive couper, to cut) is a closed two-door car body style with a permanently attached fixed roof, that is shorter than a sedan or saloon (British and Irish English) of the same model, and it often has seating for two persons or with a tight-spaced rear seat. The precise definition of the term varies between manufacturers and over time. The term was first applied to 19th-century carriages, where the rear-facing seats had been eliminated, or cut out.

1928 Stutz Black Hawk Boattail Speedster Danbury Mint 1:24
The Black Hawk was new Stutz chief Fred Moskovics’ counterpoint to the Bearcat, the muscular and raucous brute of a machine Harry Stutz introduced before the First World War. What was right then was wrong now, Moskovics was convinced. The American sporting driver of the twenties wanted sophistication in addition to speed. A veteran of Franklin and Marmon, Moskovics refined the Stutz into the Vertical Eight (s.o.h.c., dual ignition, nine main bearings) with Safety Chassis (under slung worm drive, hydraulic brakes).
At the New York National Auto Show in 1926, spectators bent over to see why the car was so low. Its pedigree dictated that this new Stutz be sent racing, and this was done in 1927 with the Black Hawk Speedster, set on the shorter of the Series BB chassis and a whopping 1,377 pounds less weighty than the Stutz sedan. Five victories in two weeks were the immediate result – and the AAA National Stock Championship.
Black Hawk victories during Daytona’s Speedweek the following January numbered three, among them a 106.25 mph run that made Stutz America’s fastest production car. Moskovics was unimpressed. Records should be made in races, he sniffed, peeved that the Contest Board was putting its imprimatur on private board track records made by Auburn.
Besides, Moskovics had a race of his own to occupy his time: the celebrated 24-hour contest that pitted the Black Hawk against Charles Weymann’s Hispano-Suiza, and which Stutz would lose. Nothing had ever broken on a Black Hawk in a race before. A valve keeper did that day; the valve dropped and broke the connecting rod. For Le Mans in June, however, that same Charles Weymann entered a Black Hawk to challenge the “Bentley boys,” who regarded that race as their private preserve. What a fight it was – the lone Stutz battled the three cars of the Bentley team with ferocity, dogged two of them into retirement, and finished second behind the third.
Two decades after it was built, the display car, driven by Dud C. Wilson, raced at Watkins Glen in 1948.

1971 Ford Mustang Sportsroof American Graffiti Motormax 1:24
El estilo del Ford Mustang , con su largo capo o frente y la cubierta trasera corta, resultó muy popular e inspiró una multitud de imitadores.
El Ford Mustang es un automóvil deportivo muscle car de dos puertas, producido por el fabricante estadounidense Ford Motor Company desde 1964, como modelo 1964½.
Originalmente fue concebido por Lee Iacocca como un concurso entre departamentos como algo personal y deportivo.
La séptima generación sería presentada en septiembre de 2022.
Debutó en 19641 como modelo 1964½ con un precio de US$2368 ($20 690 en 2023), cuyas ventas anuales estaban estimadas en alrededor de 100 000 unidades. Las ventas del primer año superaron las 400 000 unidades y fueron de un millón en dos años.
El Mustang creó la clase de Autos Pony estadounidenses, distinguidos como cupés deportivos accesibles con capotas largas y cubiertas traseras cortas, y dio lugar a competidores como el Chevrolet Camaro, Pontiac Firebird, AMC Javelin, Dodge Charger, Plymouth Barracuda renovado de Chrysler y la segunda generación del Dodge Challenger. El Mustang también es acreditado por inspirar los diseños de cupés Toyota Celica y el Ford Capri, que fueron importados a los Estados Unidos.
Originalmente se basó en la plataforma del Ford Falcon de segunda generación, un automóvil compacto. El Mustang original de dos plazas de 1962 había evolucionado hasta convertirse en el "concept car" de cuatro plazas Mustang II de 1963 que Ford utilizó para probar como el público se interesaría en el primer Mustang de producción. El concept car Mustang II de 1963 fue diseñado con una variación de los extremos delantero y trasero del modelo de producción con un techo que era 2,7 pulgadas (6,9 cm) más corto. Introducido temprano el 17 de abril de 1964, 16 días después que el Plymouth Barracuda y, por lo tanto, denominado como un "1964½" por los aficionados, pero el modelo 1965 fue el lanzamiento más exitoso del fabricante desde el modelo Ford A. el Mustang ha sufrido varias transformaciones a su sexta generación actual, siendo la tercera saga de Ford más antigua.
Comenzó su producción cinco meses antes del inicio normal del año de producción de 1965. Las primeras versiones de producción a menudo se denominaban modelos de 1964½, pero todos los Mustangs fueron anunciados codificados por VIN y titulados por Ford como modelos de 1965, aunque las actualizaciones menores de diseño en agosto de 1964 al comienzo formal del año de producción de 1965, contribuyeron al seguimiento de la producción de 1964½ datos por separado de los datos de 1965. Con la producción comenzando en Dearborn, Míchigan el 9 de marzo de 1964, el nuevo automóvil fue presentado al público el 17 de abril de 1964 en la Feria Mundial de Nueva York.
