Back in 2007 before the release of 2008 Speed Racer movie, Speed Racer Enterprise had the idea to build 500 “real” Mach 5’s to be available to the public. Their intentions were to raise money while promoting child safety with the Child Safety Network. Because of the high cost of the cars ($175,000), only a few examples, estimated about 5, were built and sold. The original prototype resides at the Volo Auto Museum in Volo, IL.
