Description
The 1970 Plymouth Road Runner represents one of the most recognizable and enduring Fast & Furious franchise cars, first introduced in the closing moments of The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift, where Dominic Toretto reveals he won the car, nicknamed “Hammer,” from his friend Han. Built on Mopar’s B-body platform, the real world Road Runner launched in 1968 as a purposefully no frills muscle car, with Plymouth famously paying Warner Bros. 50,000 dollars to license the Road Runner cartoon character’s name and likeness, along with a further 10,000 dollars to develop the car’s signature “beep beep” horn.
The Road Runner reappeared across multiple later films, driven at various points by both Toretto and Letty Ortiz, including a memorable chase sequence against Deckard Shaw in Furious 7. These on screen cars were built by Dennis McCarthy’s Vehicle Effects team, Universal Pictures’ official vehicle builder for the franchise, with one surviving hero car notably retaining its original Chrysler V8 engine and drivetrain, a rarity among stunt vehicles typically built purely for durability rather than mechanical authenticity.
Hot Wheels brings this beloved movie muscle car into its HW Screen Time series, officially licensed to celebrate its Fast & Furious franchise appearances. This casting is finished in a metalflake Hemi Orange body paired with a contrasting matte black hood, capturing the film accurate custom paint scheme at 1:64 scale and paying tribute to one of the most storied movie cars in modern action cinema.
