Among the 50+ vehicles shown by Ford at this year's SEMA Show in Las Vegas is a life-size Hot Wheels version of the Ford Transit Connect cargo van. Featuring a number of custom accessories, the vehicle sports the traditional blue and orange colours of the popular toy cars.

Inside the Ford Transit Connect Hot Wheels are two 18'' tablets, a 55'' television screen, Recaro sports seats borrowed from the Focus ST, and even a built-in Hot Wheels drag strip.

Sporting a wide body kit, 20'' wheels, and gullwing doors, the Ford Transit Connect Hot Wheels is powered by a 2.5L 4-cylinder Ti-VCT engine. It will go on sale next year... as a 1:64 scale model, obviously.
