Description
The Vulture is a Hot Wheels Original Design. It was featured as a playable car in both Hot Wheels: Bash Arena, Hot Wheels: Velocity X And in the DS version of Hot Wheels: Beat That!. It is also playable in Hot Wheels: Stunt Track Challenge. Vulture has a carbon fiber monocoque and alluminum chassis. This racer is fitted with a 930hp turbocharged alluminum 6.3 liter V10 with headers that splits from 8 to 10 pipes. The Vulture has a fender wing fusion to create downforce. To save weight there are no front fenders. It's shape is low and flat except for the rear. There is a wrap around polycarbonate windshield. It also has 18"front/20"rear wheels with 35 seires rubber tyres, double wishbone suspension, and 10 piston carbon ceramic brakes.
