Hot Wheels licensed the rights to produce a number of faithful replicas
of real cars, and they also created a number of fantasy pieces. one of
these models was called Whatta Drag. Designed by Phil Riehlman and
first introduced in 1998, Whatta Drag is perhaps the most recognizable
of them all. The concept was based on a heavily-modified BMW Isetta
bubble car that retains its identity as an Isetta while taking on that of a
v-8 powered dragster. So successful was the design that it was included
as part of seven different Hot Wheels series that would be produced
over the next decade.
So iconic was the fantasy piece that in 2005,
microcar collector Bruce Weiner decided to
turn it into reality by commissioning a lifesized,
fully-functioning version. Given the
choice of creating his own amalgamation or
replicating one of the seven different versions,
Weiner chose Model number 213, which
manufacturer was introduced Manufacturer in 2000. number 213 is the
most detailed of all the Whatta Drag models,
finished in bright orange with a large Hot
Wheels decal on top of the spoiler and
utilizing chromed five-spoke wheels.
