Hot Wheels set to recreate best classic, custom or race car

Hot Wheels has began its search to find the best classic, custom or race car to recreate for its iconic series of toy cars.

The toy car producer is asking owners to submit their special car builds for judging at its virtual Hot Wheels Legends event on 14 October 2021.

The vehicle that best embodies Hot Wheels’ high standards of performance, authenticity and ‘garage spirit’ will then go head-to-head with winners from the US, Japan, Mexico and Germany.

The global winner will then be faithfully reproduced in 1:64 scale for children and collectors to cherish, or simply blast around that most challenging racetrack; the living room floor.

Originally launched in the US in 2018 to celebrate 50 years of the iconic cars that have brought pleasure to millions, the Hot Wheels Legends Tour now comes to the UK for only the second time.

To enter, car enthusiasts simply submit a video of their car online before the 1 October.

A judging panel, which includes respected car designer Ian Callum CBE, will pick the car that best captures the Hot Wheels spirit.

The judging will be broadcast live on 14 October on Car Throttle’s YouTube channel.

Ted Wu, head of Hot Wheels design, Mattel said: “With so many passionate enthusiasts and talented car builders and restorers, the UK has a truly diverse car culture with a thriving modified and performance scene.

“We’ll be looking for the very best whether that’s a pre-war British hot rod, a ‘70s or ‘80s ‘restomod’, an extreme custom hot hatch build from the ‘90s or one of today’s bespoke hypercars, we want to see the finest cars the UK has to offer.

“And who knows?

“Your pride and joy could well become a small-scale legend.”

The UK winner will be announced on 14 October 2021 and will go head-to-head with the other global finalists, with the overall winner’s wheels being released in the Hot Wheels’ 2022 range.
