Hot Wheels Reveals 392kW Darth Vader Car: Video

Toy giant Mattel has unveiled a life-sized version of a Darth Vader-inspired car, designed by its Hot Wheels division.

Debuting at the 2014 San Diego Comic-Con, the Sith lord's ride is powered by a 6.2 litre petrol V8 engine from Chevrolet, sending 392kW to the rear wheels.

Styling is inspired by Vader’s world-famous helmet in the appropriate black and grey, and the car is based on a Chevrolet C5 Corvette.
