The Deora II has been released in the following 1/64 scale versions: A plastic body retool debuted in 2011 for Color Shifters and had molded surf boards. It was retooled again in 2021 the surfboards are now molded into the body and the casting is now a post-post design. The Deora II was first retooled in 2011, the windows were shrunk and do not fill out the window frame leaving a noticeable lip. The car has also undergone modification from its launch with KMC Wheels subbed in for the Foose one-offs that matched the 1/18th scale model's and Proch's original design. A little known fact is that the car was actually seen prior to the Hot Wheels Hall of Fame ceremony when it debuted a week earlier at SEMA. Jay Leno drove the car to the induction with Carson Lev. The Deora II was inducted into the Hot Wheels Hall of Fame in 2003 at the Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles, CA. The car is powered by a transversely-mounted Cadillac NorthStar V8 and features a "spaceship-like, roof-hinged, forward-swept door" used to access the cabin, with space for two occupants.
Hot Wheels teamed up with Chip Foose, Five Axis Wheels, Mother's and PPG Industries to create this life-sized rendition of the fan favorite Hot Wheels casting. In 2003, as part of Hot Wheels' 35th Anniversary, the Deora II was built into an actual 1:1 scale car. The Deora II has swoopy curves contrasting with original Deora's sharp-angled lines. Designer Nathan Proch used design cues taken from the rear end of a 1996 Ford Taurus station wagon. It includes similar design elements that have been modernized like surf boards, a spoiler over the engine and an ovoid windshield. Deora II is a Hot Wheels casting depicting a modernized take on the Deora show car, as designed by Harry Bradley.
