   Well, how’s this for an engine swap?

   • Inspired by a [mainline Hot Wheels car](https://images.hobbydb.com/processed_uploads/catalog_item_photo/catalog_item_photo/image/382758/Whatta_Drag___Model_Cars_acff3bac-b95f-4a2f-9f0a-1379c2076f15.jpg) designed by Phil Riehlman introduced in 1998

   • John Eversley of Evermoor Engineering LTD was commissioned by a car collector in 2005 to build a life-sized, fully functioning version. Every detail was accounted for, including a large Hot Wheels tampo on top of the spoiler. Only one example was built.

   • Supercharged Chevrolet 502 big block V8 delivering 730 horsepower (545 kW) to the enormous single rear wheel through a two-speed manual transmission.

   • Although it is fully functional, the Whatta Drag is strictly a show car due to obvious safety concerns. For this reason, top speed, torque, and other specific performance indices are unknown.

   They could at least attempt to make it look remotely functional.
