Chrysler Pronto (Independence Day 4th July, Star and Stripes, Flag)

Up next.  It's a special Hot Wheels Car: Chrysler Pronto,  a part of 2002 HW Star Spangled Series #1/4.  I bought it at a toy bazaar.  The Star & Stripes tampo is soo eye catching. :D









Chrysler Pronto was debuted at Hot Wheels as 1999 HW First Editions.  It was designed by Greg Paddington.  The first one came in Pearl Orange-Yellow.

Real Life

The Chrysler Pronto Cruizer was a concept car designed by Bryan Nesbitt for Chrysler, then DaimlerChrysler — a design that ultimately evolved into the Chrysler PT Cruiser.  The Pronto Cruizer debuted at the 1999 Geneva Auto Show as a possible Plymouth model — as with other "Pronto" concepts, the 1997 Plymouth Pronto and 1998 Plymouth Pronto Spyder). The Pronto Cruizer became a Chrysler due to the planned discontinuation of the Plymouth marque.

The vehicle carried a 1.6 L I4 engine with a five-speed manual transmission borrowed from the second generation Dodge/Plymouth Neon. The design was also derived from the Neon, but with elements borrowed from another DaimlerChrysler concept car, the Plymouth Pronto. The Pronto Cruizer had a grille and fenders that rivaled the one used on the unique Plymouth Prowler. A roll-back fabric top was used on the Pronto Cruizer as well.

Renault Megane Trophy (1st Renault)

The next Hot Wheels is a yellow Renault Megane Trophy.  I trade it with another hot wheels.  Mine is a part of 2011 HW New Models, which is the debut year of it.  The tampo are "Megane Trophy" and "Renault Sport".  It looks very good on the yellow paint.


The Renault Mégane Renault Sport or Mégane RS is a series of hot hatch models based on the Renault Mégane, designed and built by French automaker Renault since 2004.

The Renault Sport Megane Trophy is a race version of the street vehicle. It uses the considerably modified Renault Vel Satis V4Y 3.5-litre V6 engine, rated 330 PS (243 kW; 325 bhp) at 7000 rpm and 390 N·m (290 lb·ft) at 4500 rpm. The engine together with Sadev 6-speed sequential gearbox is placed longitudinally behind the cockpit.


The second generation was shown at the 2008 Paris Motor Show and was used in the Renault Eurocup starting from the 2009 season.


My Hot Wheels so much like the original car.  :D
