Matchbox Desert Thunder V16

The full-sized trucks that race in the Paris-Dakar Rally are some of the most amazing vehicles in motor sports.  The Matchbox Desert Desert Thunder V16 is a great looking rendition of one of those trucks.  It's tall, imposing, and it has all-terrain tires.

From the front, I think this truck looks like Russian Kamaz truck.  Based on Russian Army trucks, these trucks are designed for all kinds of extreme conditions.

The Desert Thunder V16 definitely has the toughness and strength down cold.

 Of course, if the going gets rough, there are two spare tires aboard this monster.
