Description[]
Airy 8 (conceptualized as Jaw Jammer) is an original design by Phil Riehlman that debuted under the First Editions: Realistix segment of the Mainline in 2005. This casting was originally planned to have debuted under the Metal Maniacs subset of the AcceleRacers series in 2005, but was cut due to its focus on track performance. It depicts a muscle motorcycle with 540 HP, a blown 5 liter V8 engine, aluminum frame, titanium oil/heat exchange, a 17” front and a 20” drag slick back wheel.
Airy 8 was featured in the Hot Wheels: AcceleRacers film series driven by Deezel “Porkchop” Riggs.
