Adventures In Re-Imagination #5
Oct. 25th, 2011 04:55 pmHOT WHEELS: THE TV SERIES
Original Premise: A rip-off of Speed Racer (and, to a lesser extent, Jonny Quest) but based on the then-new Mattel toy car product line. Centered around the life of budding race car driver Jack Wheeler and his circle of friends as they get into various predicaments in their motorsports travels. Just like Speed Racer, Jack has a custom car called the Jack Rabbit (which was loosely based on the Ford Mustang I prototype show car) that can be modified for different types of operations.
Reimagined: Updated for the youth car culture of the 21st Century. Instead of hot-rodding and customizing cars, we're talking alternative power, new materials, and driver-friendly electronics. The Jack Rabbit starts as a science fair project study, which wins backers and is built as a real car and shown to the world.
