Description[]
Sling Shot is an original design by Nathan Proch depicting an exotic sports car that has a mid-mounted V12 F1 type engine rated at 900 HP, 12 injectors, 48 valves, and 7 fwd-drive ratios plus a 2 speed reverse gearbox. The name allegedly comes from the tail's slight resemblance to a slingshot when seen in bird's-eye view. This casting was retooled in 2014 with a modified "connected" body, post-post rivets, a plastic base, and other small changes.
Sling Shot was featured in the Hot Wheels: World Race and Hot Wheels: AcceleRacers films driven by Kurt Wylde.
