This past summer a very special car was revealed at the annual Comic-Con in San Diego, California. The Darth Vader Vette is a life-size vehicle that's powered by an LS3 V8 with 526 horsepower and paired to a six-speed manual, and comes complete with a set of custom red line tires and even heavy breathing sounds. It is the vehicle of choice for the Sith Lord. But how did it come to be? Who are the people behind the design aspect of the project that made it look so damn cool?

The newly released video from Hot Wheels explains all. And yes, we'd totally love to drive this thing even at the expense of looking like a Star Wars geeks.
