Muscle Tone

==Description==
Muscle Tone is a modern early 2000s muscle car design with 1960s design influence, powered by a 4.0L supercharged V8. This casting was Eric Tscherne's first Hot Wheels design, featuring design elements largely taken from the Chevrolet Camaro and some elements of the Dodge Challenger and Plymouth Barracuda; the design brief for the casting was of a modern muscle car with a design staying true to the roots of the muscle car. Mattel would send a solid case pack of the Muscle Tone to GM's designers following its release.
Muscle Tone featured as car #35 of the Highway 35 anniversary event, driven by Krakatoa from the Scorchers team.

The Muscle Tone has been released in the following 1/64th scale versions:
