Description[]
The AMX/2 is a Hot Wheels casting designed by Paul Tam which debuted in the 1971 Hot Wheels series. It was based on a 1:1 scale non-functioning design by AMC.
1971 releases of the AMX/2 were painted in various 'Spectraflame' colors and were all made in the USA with a black interior and clear glass. The black rear louvers can be opened to view a motor. It was packaged with either a metal or plastic 'Collector's Button'.
In 1973, it was re-named Xploder and in 1975 was issued again under the name Warpath where it saw several releases including the Wisconsin Toy Company line-up in 1980. A similar casting named Redliner was issued in 1985 without the opening plastic engine covers, and was released again in 1987 under the name Road Torch.
