The La Fasta is a Hot Wheels casting that was designed by Fraser Campbell that was based on a European exotic car (DeTomaso Pantera), debuted in the 2009 New Models.
From back of card: With a roof-mounted intake, transparent engine cover, and a supercharged V8 engine, this European exotic is one fast puppy!

Casting Curiosity
This model seems to be inspired, by the real automobile, the "DeTomaso Pantera." Although at the moment and in spite of its great similarities, this information is speculative.
