Description[]
SpecTyte is an original design by Eric Tscherne and Mark Jones that first debuted under the AcceleRacers series in 2005. This design was started by Tscherne and finished by Jones after he left Mattel. It depicts a buggy rally car with 430 HP (boosts available of 1,000 HP), a fuel cell powered 4 liter V6 engine augmented by a 48V electric motor, all wheel drive capability, an aluminum tube frame, injection molded polyurethane body panels, and 24" wheels with aggressive tread tires. This casting was retooled once in 2016 with a body-molded spoiler.
Spectyte was featured in the Hot Wheels: AcceleRacers film series driven by Nolo Pasaro.
