Dorothy nearly wrecked souped-up vehicle

I believe the answer is:

hotrod

'souped-up vehicle' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'dorothy nearly wrecked' is the wordplay.
'nearly' means to remove the last letter.
'wrecked' indicates anagramming the letters.
'dorothy' with its final letter removed is 'doroth'.
'doroth' is an anagram of 'HOTROD'.

I've seen this clue in The Daily Mail.
