Foose in Toyland: Die-Cast Models Available of 540-HP Hemisfear

OAK BROOK, Ill. — The JL Full Throttle Foose Design lineup of die-cast models — including a toy car of the $3 million JLFT Hemisfear dream car — have been introduced by toy manufacturer RC2.

The pint-size lineup includes several Chip Foose show cars such as Impression, Grand Master, Double-O-32 and Sick Fish.

"Using Chip Foose's sketches and model prototypes of the concept vehicle, our JL Full Throttle design team created the die-cast collector versions in tandem with the full-size JL Full Throttle Hemisfear vehicle," said RC2 President Peter J. Henseler.

The die-cast replicas are larger than traditional 1:64 and 1:24 scale models and include details such as engine components, opening doors and trunks, and premium paint finishes.

The Hemisfear is powered by a Mopar Performance 392 Hemi SEFI crate engine that delivers 540 horsepower and 490 pound-feet of torque.
