RC2 is the MAIN SPONSOR of the JLFT Hemisfear Build

6/7/06

We had heard that Chip had always wanted to build the Hemisfear. After speaking to Chip about the car and how it blended classic hot rod styling with today's performance technology, our parent company, RC2, sponsored the JLFT Hemisfear build to make Chip Foose's dream car a reality. The Full Throttle team and Chip will hold a World Premier of both the real car and the Full Throttle diecast JLFT Hemisfear replicas in both small and large collector scales at the 2006 SEMA in Las Vegas. Stay tuned for more info on this.

I can’t wait to drive the car. At 500+ hp and a vehicle weight of 2400 lbs, this is going to be one fast ride. Frame rails are complete, tubing is being worked for correct engine position. This mid-engine rod will utilize a modified BMW transaxle, due to the transaxel size and fit with the Hemisfear's dimensions and fit with the Dodge Hemi engine.
