In the AcceleRacers series, '''Reverb''' was driven by the Teku's [http://www.accelepedia.com/detail.php?db_id=416 Vert Wheeler]. This car resembles the Saleen S7 and Enzo Ferrari. It is aerodynamically flat like [[Battle Spec]]. The front of the car has stability inlets and outlets. The vents on the hood outlets the inter-cooler to cool the 1100HP 7 liter beryllium DOHC performance cam V12 with headers mid mounted engine on an carbon fiber 7 speed [[File:Reverb.jpg|thumb|left|210px|Reverb Teku]]transmission. The carbon fiber body has air outlets near the ram air intake for the transmission. On the side there are air intakes for the 12 cylinder all carbon fiber caliper cross drilled and slotted 20" antilock brakes.20" front/22" rear wheels. The cockpit has a G force computer and stereo with a sub-woofer and two speakers. Bucket seats with 5 point harness, short shifter, interior neon, underglow neon and scissor doors. The car has carbon fiber wheels and double wishbone suspension. It is considered one of the fastest car in AcceleRacers.

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.
