Hot Wheels crafts glow-in-the-dark Camaro, trio of hot rods for “World’s Best Driver”

The life-size stunts division of Hot Wheels has kept itself busy over the past couple of years, between launching the longest automotive jump in the world at the 2011 Indy 500 and pulling off a record corkscrew jump last year. For an encore, Hot Wheels shot a 22-minute action video featuring a truckload of stunts from several of its custom rides — and a few new ones, including the first Chevy Camaro that glows in the dark.

The 22-minute short video, "World's Best Driver," features motocross and off-road drivers along with cameos from Mario Andretti, Tanner Foust and others over every type of surface — snowy hills, desert trails, factories and even water. Shot by director Mike "Mouse" McCoy over eight days after many months of preparation, the video features more than a dozen jumps, at least one hard wreck and ends with an impressive high-speed backflip.
