admin — Tue, 05 Dec 2023 08:02:17 +0000

Roadster Bite is an unlicensed casting depicting a futuristic open-topped single-seat speedster with a snake-inspired design. A gap between the seats and chassis allows one to look from one side of the casting to the other. This casting is notably quite heavy with weight concentrated towards its center.

This was Sonny Fisher’s first Hot Wheels design.

Designer: Hot Wheels^®
This slithery, single-seat convertible was inspired by a viper snake. Check out the exposed engine and fang flaps out front, if you dare.
