Monster Trucks are pick-up trucks (and later other vehicle types) with giant wheels, used to perform various stunts, such as crushing cars. The first was named Big Foot, and appeared in the 1970s. Since then there have been a number of vehicles with a Star Car link.
I recently came across this Hot Wheels version, which is tied in with the Fast and Furious films. It is a gloss black Dodge Charger R/T car, with part of the engine projecting through the hood (American car, American terminology). It even comes with a soft plastic car for you to squash.
Hot Wheels have done many Fast & Furious models in recent years. A few in the Mainline, some special 5-packs, and several sets of premium models in their own series at a higher price. However this is the first F&F model I have seen in the Monster Truck series.

I adore the Dodge Charger Paul, my fave Muscle car. I can see why they'd monsterise it! My ultimate Dodge Charger moment is the car chase in the iconic film Bullitt! What a chase and what roaring engines!
