TRUCK HISTORY
|
The Hot Wheels name has a long history in Advance Auto Parts Monster Jam® through Mattel’s popular Hot Wheels Monster Jam die cast trucks, game sets like the Boneyard Bash and by having sponsored a Hot Wheels Monster Jam truck in competition during the early 2000s. But in 2012, the Hot Wheels name returned to on-the-track competition in a big way! The new Team Hot Wheels Monster Jam truck, Firestorm, a name which was selected by the fans, is the first of its kind, constructed with state-of-the-art laminate technology. Made of carbon fiber, Kevlar and E-glass (which is used to make some of the parts found on the International Space Station), the body weighs half that of a normal fiberglass body. This Monster Jam truck is 17 feet long and 11 feet high, weighs 10,000 lbs. and sports a 1,500 horsepower engine, making it a true monster behemoth.
To see how the Team Hot Wheels Firestorm monster truck was created, fans can check out the Hot Wheels YouTube channel for the “making of” footage for this Monster Jam truck. “The newly-built Team Hot Wheels Monster Jam truck has an extremely unique body style and looks that will make it stand out from the other Monster Jam trucks in a way that is consistent with the Team Hot Wheels brand,” said Charlie Mancuso, president of Feld Motor Sports®. |
