Description
16 Angels is an original Hot Wheels design of a 16 cylinder sports car. Inspiration for the car came from Jag E-Type. Nathan Proch first thought about naming the car "E-go Type", but, wanting to avoid being called an ego maniac, changed the name to "Saturday Night Special". Legal put the kibosh on that one for obvious reasons. The eventual choice of "16 Angels" was for its cylinders, and, angels... (from Nathan Proch’s Heavenly Car, a Red Line Club exclusive article by HWC Gary):
"I remember in Bible school when I was a kid, if I’m not mistaken, an angel has the power of 1,000 men or 10,000 men – they’re considered very strong in biblical terms."
Nathan Proch
16 Angels is playable in Stunt Track Challenge. Also, a version that is a combination of two variants is playable in Hot Wheels: Beat That! and 3 different variants are playable in Hot Wheels: Track Attack.
