Forza Horizon 5 Hot Wheels - Baja Bone Shaker

The Vehicle team at Playground Games have interpreted, designed, and built a human sized drivable version of the 1:64 scale Hot wheels Baja Bone Shaker (FYY74) die cast toy.

Working in close collaboration with Mattel and using the physical copy of the toy as our main source of reference, we have brought this one-of-a-kind vehicle to life by identifying, redesigning, and constructing components in a way that they would work in the real world whilst respecting the spirit of the toys' playful design.

Wai Keen Lam and I were responsible for the planning, creating, and delivering of this asset from initial idea to the final in-game representation.

However, Vehicle Art is a collaborative effort, so I'd like to thank and recognise the contributions of:
