Hot Wheels Rip Rod™

The Hot Wheels Rip Rod™ (also known as simply Rip Rod™) is a stunt buggy designed by Fraser Campbell for Hot Wheels, who later collaborated with Ford to create the full-sized version.
==Description==
Is it a buggy? It is a hot rod? It doesn’t matter what you call the Rip Rod because this diminutive Hot Wheels ride is ready to shake things up on any surface. This beast is equipped with a souped-up three-cylinder motor that makes better than 100 hp.
While that might not seem like much, in this rod, it is more than enough to thrill (or spill depending on your skills behind the wheel). One look at the suspension tells you this tricked out custom is ready for any terrain. This is a super lightweight tube chassis pro-built machine and it’s all Hot Wheels. In short, the Rip Rod really rips.Forza Motorsport official website
