Hot Wheels Debuts 2003 Dodge Viper SRT-10 in Fast & Furious Series
New Casting Celebrates Iconic American Muscle Car...
Hot Wheels is set to delight diecast collectors and fans of the Fast & Furious franchise with the release of an all-new casting of the 2003 Dodge Viper SRT-10 Roadster. Featured in the upcoming Fast & Furious Premium Series, this Viper Red model is scheduled to hit store shelves in the coming weeks, promising to be a standout piece for enthusiasts.
The 2003 Dodge Viper SRT-10 holds a special place in Fast & Furious history. While the first Viper to grace the franchise was a custom yellow version appearing in 2 Fast 2 Furious, the red SRT-10 played a crucial role in the opening race of Fast & Furious: Tokyo Drift. This film follows Sean Boswell, played by Lucas Black, as he races against classmate Clay, portrayed by Zachery Ty Bryan. Their showdown between Sean’s 1971 Chevy Monte Carlo and Clay’s Viper ends with a dramatic crash, solidifying the Viper’s status as a symbol of speed and power in the series.
Designed by Hot Wheels’ Ronald Wong (@ronalderw), this new casting features a striking Viper Red paint scheme and 10-spoke Real Riders wheels. The new model aims to satisfy Viper collectors who have expressed concerns over earlier castings, particularly those of the Dodge Viper R/T10. Recent revisions to the R/T10 have shown Hot Wheels’ commitment to producing more realistic representations of these iconic vehicles, making the 2003 SRT-10 Roadster a highly anticipated addition to the lineup.
With the Fast & Furious franchise’s enduring popularity and the Viper’s reputation as a classic American muscle car, this new Hot Wheels casting is likely to be a hit among collectors and fans alike. As we move into 2025, diecast enthusiasts can look forward to adding this detailed and dynamic model to their collections, further cementing the Viper’s legacy in both the automotive and entertainment worlds.
