"Let's Move Some Metal Maniacs" - Tork Maddox
Hollowback is a Metal Maniacs car driven by Tork Maddox. It is a heavily-modified muscle car that looks to be an amalgamation of various other muscle cars, including the 2000 Ford Mustang SVT Cobra R. Much of the engine is above the hood of the car.
History[]
Before Acceleracers[]
As shown in flashbacks, Hollowback was driven by Tork in the fateful race against Tone Pasaro in Synkro, resulting in his death.
Acceleracers[]
Ignition[]

Trivia[]
- According to early concept art, Hollowback was originally called "Knightmare," and would have been driven by Kurt.
- Hollowback is one of the very few cars driven in the whole series (and the only Metal Maniacs car) without getting broken nor destroyed, the other one being Karma's Chicane.
- When exiting the Metro Realm, both Monkey and Tork are in Hollowback. However, the car only appears to have one seat in the movie. (The diecast, however, has 2.)
- The car got its name by the vaccum effect created by the rear engine. Oddly enough, the car is front-engined.
- The hood on the die-cast model and Hot Wheels: Infinite Loop has the same color as the body, meanwhile the hood on the animation model is black.
- The front splitters on the die-cast are highly trimmed off.
- The car does have a spoiler, however it's never seen lifted up.
