This model represents an automobile, the '71 Dodge Challenger, possibly based on the 1971 Dodge Challenger R/T hardtop coupe, equipped with the 426 cu in (7.0 L) Chrysler Hemi V8 engine and Shaker hood scoop. It is made by Hot Wheels in several versions. As a note of interest, R/T stands for Road/Track, denoting the Challenger's ability to also be used on the track. The T/A version, Trans/Am, on the other hand, is an adaptation for road use, due to homologation rules, of the race car destined to the Sports Car Club of America's Trans American Sedan Championship.
