Description[]
Krazy 8s is a depiction of a highly futuristic race car. Its name comes from the pair of inline-8 engines flanking both sides of the car, accompanied by the associated exhaust routing and other functional parts. The engines are said to be synchronized with each other and produce 850 horsepower.
The model enjoyed top billing on the cover of Hot Wheels: Burnin' Rubber, and appears as an endgame reward in Hot Wheels: Velocity X (as well as appearing often in said game's prerelease material.)
Krazy 8s starred as car #22 of the Highway 35 anniversary event, driven by the Dune Ratz team leader Brian "Zone" Kadeem. The very same car would later go on to appear (and be destroyed) in AcceleRacers.
