Live Out Your Star Wars Dreams With This X-Wing/Car Mash-Up
Want to indulge your inner Luke Skywalker/Poe Dameron? Hot Wheels has just the thing in the form of the 'X-Wing Fighter Carship' it's created
Powering this curious creation is an inline four-cylinder engine, slotted into what looks like a space-frame chassis (potentially Formula Ford-derived) with inboard suspension. It’s good for around 200bhp, and apparently generates 400kg of downFORCE (sorry…) at 165mph.
This is - of course - a one-off creation, but it is available in die-cast form as part of Hot Wheels’ new Carships collection. Or if you fancy taking a look at the real one in the metal, it’s on display now at San Diego Comic Con.
Growing up on a diet of World Rally Championship highlights and lengthy Gran Turismo 2 sessions, a life in cars was as good as inevitable for Matt.

Me Realising that this thing will never reach production…
That’s a way better looking canopy for F1 than that lame looking Halo system.
