Hot Wheels Hollowback – Built to Smash, Not Just Race
It’s 2005.
You’re a kid with a Hot Wheels addiction and a slight obsession with cars that look like they could start a riot.
Enter: Hollowback.
This wasn’t your average diecast.
Silk red. Black flames. Side pipes that look like they were stolen off a Mad Max set.
Even the name felt dangerous.
And the best part? It didn’t just look mean—it was mean.
Part Muscle Car, Part Street Monster
Designed by Phil Riehlman (the man knew what he was doing), Hollowback was car #5 in the Metal Maniacs crew—and you could tell.
Wide. Loud. Loaded with attitude.
It didn’t whisper across the track. It growled.
And Yeah—It Had a Story
Driven by Taro Kitano in the Acceleracers series, Hollowback wasn’t just for show.
It had lore. Character. A presence.
It’s what you wanted in a world where racing wasn’t just about speed—it was about domination.
The Hot Wheels Acceleracers Metal Maniacs lineup includes Jack Hammer, Rivited, Rollin’ Thunder, Power Bomb, Spine Buster, Ratified, and Hollowback.

Final Thought
You either get it… or you don’t.
If you do, you already know Hollowback isn’t some random toy.
It’s the one you raced so hard the paint chipped.
If not?
