Real-Life Cartoon Cars

The Speed Racer Replica Car is Road-Ready

I am strongly considering abandoning my current set of wheels for the Speed Racer replica car. This car is an exact replica of the Mach 5 driven by the infamous and overly-dramatic Speed Racer.

The Speed Racer replica car stays as true as it can to its source material with pop-out saw blades, leap feet underneath, a fully recreated interior and a 451 hp Chevy LT1 engine. What I wouldn't give to make this car my own.
