Trivia
- None of the returning World Race cars got made into the diecast mainline, but this car did get a Mystery Model release in 2021.
- It's likely the only car in both teams (Teku and Metal Maniacs) that is armed with a long range weapon. However, it's unknown whether Kurt had taken out the Blaster or not.
- Along with the Chrysler Thunderbolt from Fluke, they are the rarest cars to get from the World Race.
- Uniquely, Sling Shot has 3 different headlights placement in each media:
- In World Race, the pop-up headlights are placed on the fenders
- In World Race video game, they're placed at the very front, and are traditional type of headlights
- In Acceleracers, they're placed on the hood of the car, once again became pop-up headlights
