Description[]
The '70 Plymouth Roadrunner is a design by Phil Riehlman depicting a modified 1970 Plymouth Road Runner with a hood scoop and front mounted Hemi V8.
The real life mid-sized muscle car produced was produced by the Plymouth division of the Chrysler Corporation between 1968 and 1970. The first generation of the car, designed by Jack Smith and Dick MacAdam, was developed to give Plymouth a lower-priced alternative to their GTX model, built with an emphasis on performance. Much of the car's branding was based around the Road Runner character created by Warner Bros, including the car's logo and horn; Chrysler paid Warner Bros. $50,000 to use the Road Runner's name and license for the car's branding and $10,000 to develop a horn which sounded like the character. 41,484 were produced for 1970, the last year of the car's first generation.
The '70 Plymouth Roadrunner was featured in the Hot Wheels: World Race and Hot Wheels: AcceleRacers films driven by Taro Kitano, and the Hot Wheels: Battle Force 5 Fused television series driven by Jack Wheeler.
