HOT WHEELS - The Super Volt, based on the Chevy Volt but taken too far into fantasy land.


This model is based on a real car, but taken a few steps further, and not good ones at that, the Chevrolet Volt is there first proper Electric Vehicle (EV) and had some success, not the sales they had hoped for, but it was a reasonable seller throughout its first generation life, it had some interesting looks, some of which are here on this casting, but they get lost with the garish paint scheme, which i really do not like, and the giant silver plastic engine and spoiler that protrude from the car stupidly.

The black PR5 wheels with a red rim also to a degree look out of place, i would have had silver rim rather than red, but hey, i am just the customer, not the designer, the scaling of the model also looks a little "out" with the space between the wheels looking squashed.

Both these models are on long cards and the card art looks far superior than the model it looks down on, it comes from the HW City section of the range and is numbered #22/250, that's all i really have to say about this, as i am not a fan, and don't know why i bought two, or even one to be honest.
