Car Culture: Team Transport

The Team Transport 2-packs are a series all about the transportation of (race)cars to their destination. Each 2-pack consists of a "transporter" vehicle (a larger truck or something like that) and a "transportable" vehicle.

The 2-pack have been released to celebrate Hot Wheels's 50th anniversary. In 2018, three Team Transporters have been released.

Retro Rig & Plymouth Duster Funny Car
The "Mongoose" funny car is one of the most well-known funny cars ever (at least in the Hot Wheels community). The 1975 Plymouth Duster was a drag racer in heart and soul. It was driven by Tom "Mongoose" McEwen and was sponsored by Hot Wheels. This sets commemorates a duo that made Hot Wheels popular 50 years ago. The truck and the Duster are faithful representations of their real life counterpart.

Fleet Flyer & Porsche 962
The MOMO team transport is all about the iconic and well-known tuner brand MOMO. It sports the classic MOMO livery: Red body color and yellow stripes and "MOMO" on the sides. The included truck is a moving van-styled heavy duty truck based on the official truck with MOMO livery and the included racecar is the famous Porsche 962, which is actually based on the real life Porsche 962 #001GS (Gebhardt Sports).

Volkswagen T1 Transporter Pick Up & Porsche Speedster
The Outlaw 2-pack consists of two models which are themed after the popular Porsche customizer Magnus Walker. As of 2018, the Porsche customization subculture is hot. And Walker knows exactly how to keep Porsche enthusiasts happy. The Volkswagen Transporter is a bit of an oddball: besides being owned by the same company (Volkswagen Group), it has nothing to do with Porsche. The pick-up Transporter is converted to make room for the iconic and beautiful Porsche 356 Speedster. This roadster is thrilling and a sight to behold.
