Description

Sling Shot is a futuristic V12-powered supercar. The name allegedly comes from the tail's slight resemblance to a slingshot when seen in bird's-eye view. All Thailand made versions released before 2010 use a modified base tooling with wheel spacer tabs, accommodating skinnier rear wheels than the regular base. 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.
