The Evil Weevil was a car that debuted in the 1971 Hot Wheels Spoilers Series. It is based on a Volkswagen Type 1 (also known as "Bug" or "Beetle", or in Germany "Käfer") with two high-power V8 engines. In 2004, the Evil Weevil was retooled for the HWC Neo Classics Series and has been used multiple times since. This casting is not to be confused with the Eevil Weevil, a 1986 casting of similar name.
