Mattel has produced a life-size version of its original Hot Wheels car, 1969's Twin Mill. Powered by two Chevy 502 big blocks, the real Twin Mill reportedly spits out more than 1,400 horses. And while it's fully driveable, it's built to be shown off at auto shows and races, not on the street.
And no, it's not for sale.
