History[]

It was driven in the beginning of Ignition and was later destroyed at the end of the Storm Realm, when it hit a drone car, flipped over, lost a wheel, and shattered the windshield. With only a few minutes to go, Kurt had to abandon Slingshot in the Realm.

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.
  • Slingshot is the first car in World Race to be seen using the Nitrox booster.
  • 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
    • Since Vert Wheeler re-entered the Storm realm in the The Ultimate Race it is possible that he raced through Slingshot's remains, possibly becoming an obstacle in the track.
