Hyper Mite

Hyper Mite Debut Series 2001 First Editions Produced 2001 - 2013 Designer Mark Jones Number 28757

Description

A bizarre little bug of a car, and one of the shortest Hot Wheels castings in terms of wheelbase. From the front, the bubble-roofed vehicle resembles the face of a koala, although this may be unintended. The interior is worth examining, as it appears to incorporate a bicycle seat, handlebars and pedals! The rear-mounted V-twin engine has two exhaust pipes ending in skyward-pointing funnels.

Birthplace: El Segundo, California, USA
Designer: Hot Wheels^®
Specialty: The mighty Hyper Mite^™ can go where no car has gone before. Fitted with handlebar steering and seating for one, it's small enough to venture where other cars can't. Powered by two V-twin motorcycle engines, it goes fast enough to make an impression. Try it and you just "mite" like it!
