Description[]

Reverb is an advanced, aluminum-forged Teku car equipped with a 7.0 liter V12 that, similar to some Silencerz tech, is made from a beryllium engine block, netting the car 1100 horsepower.

The car's tooling was updated in 2012. The logo detail in the bottom of the interior was removed, and the base no longer has a hole for it. The front details on the base have been flattened, and the front wheels are now smaller. It is now made in Thailand instead of Malaysia. A variation or derivative, the Hypertruck, also exists.

The original Reverb was driven by Vert Wheeler in AcceleRacers.

In 2023, as part of the AcceleRacers DLC Expansion Pack for the video game Hot Wheels Unleashed 2: Turbocharged, this casting went under the name Vert's due to Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd. filing for a trademark on the word "Reverb" in 2019 under international class code 28, which would include toys, games, and playthings.

Trivia[]

  • Just like most AcceleRacers cars, Reverb's earliest casting was a prototype made of raw ZAMAC and Barbie plastic featuring clear windows. It was sold at Mattel's 2008 charity auction.
  • An early version of Reverb was driven by Mark Wylde during a test animation by DQ Entertainment Ltd. It can be seen racing against other Reverbs featuring unused color schemes.
  • Reverb was supposed to appear in the 2006 Acceleracers Accelerons series. However, plans were changed and only a single prototype was made.
  • An alternate concept version of the 2006 Reverb can be seen in the 2006 German catalog. The only differences are the color swap between orange and purple, and the lack of pink rings on the wheels. It was just a promotional art and never made it to production. This version of Reverb would later reappear in Hot Wheels: Infinite Loop.
  • Reverb was playable in the 2011 online game Racing Circuit. Despite being customizable, it heavily resembles the card art of the 2009 Trackstars release due to its liveries.
