In 2014, Hot Wheels created a 1:64 scale Darth Vader concept car.

One modified Chevrolet Corvette later, and the world is now blessed with the real thing.

The car was designed by Bryan Benedict and built by Billy Hammon, both of whom work for Hot Wheels. Powered by a 526-horsepower V8 engine from GM, and featuring various features such as the imperial logo on the wheel hubs, Darth Vader sound effects and actual props from the movies, this is definitely a tempting reason to go to the dark side.
