Description[]
Tantrum is an unlicensed Hot Wheels casting resembling a Japanese import-style convertible, designed by Eric Tscherne. Tscherne commented that the design was intended to have a longer nose profile such as a Chevrolet Corvette or a Dodge Viper; in his own words, the actual production nose profile "turned out to be rather stubby" similar to a Mazda MX-5 Miata.
