“Cruella De Vil. Cruella De Vil. If she doesn’t scare you, no evil thing will!” These are lyrics from a song about Cruella, penned by the character Roger Radcliffe. Well, if you’ve seen the original animated 101 Dalmatians movie (1961), you may just feel that her driving would scare you more!

It was almost torture seeing the mad-driving villainess systematically destroy such a beautiful car! Let’s have a look at it from the animated movie before she started to bash it around:

As we’ll now see, Mattel did a marvelous job of recreating the De Vil Coup in this HotWheels Premium die cast model:

“The curl of her lips, the ice in her stare.” I think the front of this car well reflects the face and attitude of its driver!

It really is amazing the level of detail that Mattel gets into these cars. Even the paint job has depth!

I bought this at a flea market for $10.00 US but it was first released in 2018. This particular die cast was manufactured in Thailand.

This was produced for Hot Wheels collectors. So if any young children are reading this post, hands off! Only kidding. But seriously. Hands off.

“She ought to be locked up and never released!” This could quite possibly happen if we could ever get Cruella into Traffic Court.

Was Cruella De Vil’s car patterned after a real car? Check out my earlier post entitle Could This Be Cruella De Vil’s Real Car? to find out!
