Reverb (AcceleRacers)

== Description ==
Reverb is an original design by Josh Henson and Alec Tam that first debuted under the Teku subset of the AcceleRacers series in 2005. It depicts a technologically advanced race car with 1,100 HP, a 7 liter beryllium DOHC V12 engine, forged exoskeleton, aluminum body, 20" front and 22" back wheels. Reverb was retooled once in 2012 with a removed push-through logo and a flattened "Thailand" base. The design and styling of this casting went on to inspire the later Hypertruck.
Reverb was featured in the Hot Wheels: AcceleRacers film series driven by Vert Wheeler.

==Trivia== 
*This casting was also featured in the video games Hot Wheels: Racing Circuit, Hot Wheels: Infinite Loop, and Hot Wheels Unleashed 2: Turbocharged; Reverb went under the name Vert's due to code 28 trademark filing issues with Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd. in 2023.
*A single Barbie skin prototype was sold at a Mattel charity auction in 2008.
*Several early versions of Reverb were driven by Mark Wylde in a test animation for the Hot Wheels: AcceleRacers film series by DQ Entertainment Ltd.
*An unreleased variant of Reverb was planned for release under the Acceleron segment of the AcceleRacers series in 2006; one known prototype exists.
