Mitsubishi Double Shotz Hot Wheels Concept

As “mama” Mattel explained, in order to celebrate Hot Wheels' 40th anniversary, it invited major carmakers to submit a series of concept ideas that would be turned into a line of 1/64 scale toy cars in spring 2008. Mitsubishi entered the Hot Wheels Designer's Challenge with a proposition from Mitsubishi Motors Research and Design of America (MRDA) employee, Gary Ragle.

Gary’s Double Shotz concept sportscar, that’s fitted with two 4G63 engines derived from the Lancer Evolution, was one of the seven winners in the Hot Wheels Designer’s Challenge. We wouldn’t mind at all if Mitsubishi decided to create a life-size concept of Gary’s proposition.

Imagine a 2 stroker motors with BIG turbos on it?

Yeah that's cool, I'd rock that. Send it to AMS and get ridiculous huge slicks, have a 2000whp car.

That would be a sick production car. A huge turbo in the front and another one in the back... oh the possibilities.

I think it sucks how there are no Evo Hot Wheels / Matchbox over here. They have the new Eclipse but no Evo.

Whats up with that?

I have 1 Hot Wheels Evo I bought from the UK. Its the Rally car. I could probably get some decent money for it if I wanted to sell it. Hmmm....
