Vairy 8

Description[]

The Vairy 8 is based on a racing version of the Chevrolet Corvair. The Corvair was labeled as the "the leading candidate for the un-safest car" by Ralph Nadar, a consumer protection activist, in his book titled, 'Unsafe at Any Speed'. As a nod to this, the First Edition of the car was decorated with 'Ralph's Ride' tampos.

Its name is a play on words with "Variate", "Corvair" and "V-8" because the Hot Wheels version is modified for racing and has 8 cylinders while the real-life version had a Flat-6.
