Description[]
A successor of sorts to the HW40, the HW50 is a casting produced specifically for Hot Wheels' 50th anniversary. It is designed as a drag racer with a big block V10 engine and sidepipes. This was the first design Hot Wheels intern Omar Rehman contributed to.
According to a History Channel video and 2018 card description, the HW50 Concept toy is a reference point to making a full-scale version in collaboration with Bisimoto using Dodge Viper underpinnings. It was slated to be shown at SEMA 2018; the model was never completed and all references pointing to this vehicle removed.

2018 card[]
From the back of the 2018 card:
Born: 2018, El Segundo
Designer: Hot Wheels®
HW50 Concept:
Awesome cars start with epic ideas! Built to launch the next 50 years of amazing Hot Wheels cars, HW50 Concept is the 1:64 scale research and development vehicle used to create the mind-blowing full-size HW50 ultra-modern hot rod!
HW50:
You can almost smell the rubber burning when HW50 spins its giant rear slicks and peels out at the dragstrip! This ultra–modern take on a vintage hot rod uses a study cross brace to shield the big–bore V10 engine. There’s even a hatch in the roof so the driver can climb in and out of the cockpit!
