Twin Mill Lives!!

2009 Hot Wheels Twin Mill
When you were a little boy, or if you still are a little boy, and you've played with Hot Wheels cars, the name "Twin Mill" may have come across your mind. It was one of the idols of the Hot Wheels diecast line. Since the 1960's, this car led Hot Wheels to economic success. It still is the most popular car Hot Wheels has designed. They even made two more versions of this car. It was that cool. Well, the car you see in front of you is Twin Mill. The only difference between this car and the actual toy model is that it has lept from its 1/64 scale figure to the real world. A special team of designers and engineers helped build Life-sized Twin Mill. The engines are two real 502 Block Chevy V8s with dual B & M superchargers. Altogether, this car produces 1,400 horsepower, 200 more than the fastest car in the world, the Veyron Supersport. This picture was taken at SEMA in Las Vegas, but Hot Wheels recently uploaded a video of the car in real life with the engines roaring to life and the car actually moving. Check it out below and see if the brings back any childhood memories.
