The car is powered by a transversely-mounted Cadillac NorthStar V8 and features a 'spaceship-like, roof-hinged, forward-swept door' used to access the cabin, with space for two occupants. Hot Wheels teamed up with Chip Foose, Five Axis Wheels, Mother's and PPG Industries to create this life-sized rendition of the fan favorite Hot Wheels casting. In 2003, as part of Hot Wheels' 35th Anniversary, the Deora II was built into an actual 1:1 scale car. The Deora II has swoopy curves contrasting with original Deora's sharp-angled lines. Designer Nathan Proch used design cues taken from the rear end of a 1996 Ford Taurus station wagon.
It includes similar design elements that have been modernized like surf boards, a spoiler over the engine and an ovoid windshield.
Deora II is a Hot Wheels casting depicting a modernized take on the Deora show car, as designed by Harry Bradley.
