Amazoom is a Hot Wheels casting designed by Mark Jones that debuted in the 2008 New Models.
The origins of this casting arose when the Hot Wheels Marketing group decided to recognize Brazil for the growth of Hot Wheels in the country in 2007. A few design options were put on the table and Marketing and Design decided to create a non-licensed version of the stock cars that are popular on the Brazilian racing circuit. Mark Jones took that concept and created Amazoom! The name of the car came from the Amazon River, which runs through the Brazil. Its first deco is based on the Brazilian flag.
The car itself could be an adaption from the VW Passat 3b. (Judging by it's front grill and headlights)
