Hot Wheels teased its forthcoming Star Wars toy line back in May. The great unveiling takes place this week at the annual San Diego Comic-Con, and as promised, a life-size version of the Darth Vader car will be on hand.

Hot Wheels unveiled it today, and it's suitably Vader-y.
Built atop a C5 Corvette chassis, the real-life car mimics its palm-sized counterpart perfectly, right down to its lightsaber side pipes and red wheel trim. It also makes Darth Vader breathing sounds and reportedly can drive at speeds up to 80 mph. Ideally, it would also have the ability to force-choke errant, terrible drivers.

Alas, the real-life Sithmobile is just a one-off. We'll have to settle for the toys, which hit store shelves in October.
