Description[]
Deora II is a modernized take on the Deora show car designed by Harry Bradley. Although it has the same trappings of the original Deora, such as a pair of surfboards and a two-seater cabin with a roof-hinged, front-mounted door, the Deora II is updated with a supercharged V8 and a swooping, curved body that contrasts the original Deora's sharp, angled lines. Comparisons can be drawn between the bubble-esque canopy and the rear of a third-generation Ford Taurus station wagon.
The casting has been retooled twice; first in 2011, to greatly sink the windows into the frame, and then again in 2021, molding the previously detachable surfboards into the body. A similarly molded plastic retool had previously debuted in 2011, for Color Shifters, although it maintains the original window position.
Deora II starred as car #01 of the Highway 35 anniversary event, driven by the Wave Rippers team leader Josef "Vert" Wheeler. The very same car would later go on to appear (and be destroyed) in AcceleRacers. Initially, this Deora II was rated at 400 horsepower with a 4.4 liter engine; by the time of AcceleRacers, these numbers had been increased to 750 horsepower and 5.0 liters.
Show Car[]
During the aforementioned 35th anniversary, the Deora II was built into a 1:1 scale show car. Mattel teamed up with Chip Foose, Five Axis Wheels, Mother's, and PPG Industries to create a life-sized rendition, which is powered by a transversely-mounted Cadillac NorthStar V8. In that same year, after debuting at the SEMA Show a week earlier, the Deora II was inducted into the Hot Wheels Hall of Fame at the Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles; Jay Leno drove the car to the induction alongside Carson Lev. The show car has appeared in various places since; albeit having undergone modification from its launch; namely, new KMC Wheels replacing the Foose one-offs that matched Proch's original design, and in 2023, a new paint job themed after the car's depiction in AcceleRacers. It was repainted again in 2024 to match the car's appearance in Hot Wheels Let's Race, replicating the car as found in the Wave Cravers 5-Pack.
