Description[]
The Draggin' Tail, which debuted in 2009, is a Hot Wheels model based on a dragonfly, (Scientific name Anisoptera). The vehicle has a massive exposed twin-turbo V8 engine at the front, with seemingly no place for a driver. It also has two literal wings that help with downforce and flight. In a sense Draggin' Tail could be seen as a cousin to Buzz Bomb.
