Mad Max be damned!
All that might be going against this model (Another El Camino? Another El Camino with a ridiculous engine in the rear?) is completely trumped by how cool it is. I had no idea what the huff about this new model was until I got it.
It is completely over the top. Instead of an engine in the back like the old model, this one has a jet engine in the back. It has one headlight painted red. It has been done to help promote this “Hot Wheel Test Facility” campaign that Mattel is pushing.
But I am a sucker for mean-looking black car, and I have been pulled in. It is just plain cool. Mad Max would love it. When we do a “Best of” vote at the end of the year, I have a feeling this one will be a contender for Best New Model…
This is the first of many Q case models we will be featuring in the coming days. They are lined up and ready for showcasing:

Hot Wheels Custom ’71 El Camino (2012 New Models):
I so want this Elky!
Esta míni com certeza vem para a coleção!!! ótimas fotos como sempre!!!
Wow! Now that's a ride to have! Blow those suckers away!!!!
This one closely reminds me of the Trailblazer stunt car from FlatOut 2 because of the rear mounted jet engine and because both are El Caminos. Can't wait to pick this up!

Watching the videos that feature the 1:1, I don't think that red “headlight” is really a headlight. I think it's some sort of induction or something for the jets. Either way, this is definitely a sweet casting, can't wait to get a few!
