Mattel says: With a rear wing, roof scoop, roll cage and V* HEMI engine, this modified Dodge Charger was made to slide past the competition.

Wiki says: The Dodge Charger Drift Car is a vehicle from the Formula Drift racing series. This vehicle was campaigned by Nuformz Racing's Shaun Carlson and driven by two-time champion Samuel Hübinette.

The Dodge Charger Drift was designed by former Hot Wheels Designer Eric Tscherne; the casting was designed by Jun Imai with Tscherne's assistance. The car's build is featured in the documentary, "Drift: The Sideways Craze". Tscherne's drawing can be seen clearly during this documentary.

This casting has undergone several retoolings beginning in 2011 where it was given a police light bar and push bar, then again in 2015 where the casting lost its roll cage, the lightbar was also altered along with the spoiler which was integrated into the metal body. In 2016 the casting was once again retooled, this time the push bar and light bar were removed whilst still retaining the integrated spoiler. Both the 2015 and 2016 versions co-exist, appearing with and without the police equipment depending on what series the car appears in and where the castings was manufactured.

In posters, this casting was titled "'08 Dodge Charger Drift".
