Night Burner

Description[]

Night Burner is a turbine-powered single-seat sports car. Originally named Mega Thrust, the casting was renamed to Night Burner in 2008 with the associated base name and information changed.

The Night Burner has a special feature: Blowing into the rear exhaust pipe causes the turbine impeller to spin and makes a kazoo/whistle type sound. This feature was originally seen in 1970 with the Whip Creamer and later with its "what-if" successor model the Whip Creamer II.

In 2009, there was a minor casting change to the base where the embossed Hot Wheels insignia was removed - See picture in Gallery. The casting was retooled in 2017, where the front grill was made part of the base.
