SPEED RACER'S REAL MACH 5 | RAREST CARS IN THE WORLD

Описание: Today Patrick introduces us to the real Mach 5 from Speed Racer! Built in just 17 days by Gotham Garage, this car was never meant to be a functional automobile, but a replica of the famous cartoon car.

The Mach 5 has been described as “the most famous race car in the world” because of the continuing popularity of the 1967 Speed Racer cartoon series, which has an estimated fan base of 50 million people. In 2000, this three-dimensional interpretation of the cartoon Mach 5 completed a nationwide automotive safety tour sponsored by the Child Safety Network. Speed Racer Motors later unveiled plans to build a Signature Series of 100 road-ready Mach 5’s numbered and signed by Peter Fernandez, the voice actor and creative force behind the Speed Racer Cartoons. Unlike this prototype which has a mid-engine, the Corvette-based “production” roadsters will feature a 5.7-liter, 385-horsepower V-8 engine mounted in the front.
