Mach 5 - Details and Trivia

When the Mach 5 was conceived in its world of Japanese animation, it was considered imaginary. Yet child and adult alike new that if such a car existed, it would be the one they'd love to drive. The car was ahead of its time.

While the body and design of the car have finally become a reality with replica cars in existence, we may never see a Mach 5 on the streets with retractable cutter blades or a deflector glass cockpit which allows the car to be submerged. Yet for all its gadgets, no such car has as much versitility in celluloid. The Mach 5 is both a street car and a race car. It's a muscle car and it's exotic as well as geeky. The Mach 5 has something for everyone, which is why we believe it is the most memorable of all film or TV show cars.

Here is a breakdown of the active hub on the steering column:

A - Auto Jack: Utilized more as jump jacks than for repairs.
B - Belt Tires: Instantly belts tires to grip any terrian.
C - Cutter Blades: Dual retractable rotary saws.
D - Deflector: Seals the cockpit, bulletproof, watertight, airtight.
E - Evening: aka Illuminating eye. Also assists Speed's infrared vision helmet
F - Frogger Mode: Provides under water assistance includes periscope.
G - Go Homing Robot: Bird shaped robot flys home with recorded material.
