Just in time for the holidays, toy manufacturer Mattel has produced the perfect gift for those youngsters destined to become engineers. The new Solar Eagle III Hot Wheels action pack features a miniature version of the winning entry in the 1997 Sunrayce intercollegiate solar car competition. Engineering students from Califomia State University, Los Angeles designed and built the real Solar Eagle Ill, which averaged about 43 miles per hour during the 10-day, 1,230-mile race from Indianapolis, Indiana, to Colorado Springs, Colorado.
Each Solar Eagle lll Hot Wheels action pack also includes a miniature version of the vehicle's transport trailer and miniature figures of Cal State L.A. President James Rosser waving the checkered flag at the finish line, team faculty advisor Richard Roberto, and student team leader Roman Vasquez.
The action pack retails for about $5; the car is also available alone for about $1.
