Hot Wheels: Ultimate Challenge revs up to give passionate car lovers and Hot Wheels superfans the opportunity of a lifetime – turning a nostalgic car from their past into the life-sized Hot Wheels of their dreams. All but one of the 50 limited edition sets had been sold already by the time they were unveiled at this weekend’s Goodwood Members’ Meeting. Grainger-Herr said that racing and watches were inseparable for most of his European and US male customers. “80 plus per cent of our customers are into cars and planes or either or both,” he said, saying that buyers of the Hot Wheels set came squarely from this group. Absolutely not,” said IWC CEO Christoph Grainger-Herr. “Hot Wheels has such a rich culture of being very creative about interpreting what is current in car culture at any given moment, from 1968 all the way to today. In the beginning, that would have been hot rods and muscle cars and pony cars, and then branched out into to really every aspect of modern car culture from JDM and crazy Japanese tuners all the way to European classic racing in the 300 SL. I think (Hot Wheels) really captures, design-wise, what the Zeitgeist in terms of automotive design really is.”

Although the two brands may seem mismatched, IWC’s CEO, Cristoph Grainger-Herr, said that they had more in common than might appear. The accompanying Mercedes 300SL is assembled by hand and features 3D-printed tyre treads, red sills, opening gullwing doors and a roll cage, recreating IWC’s full-size version, which competes in this weekend’s Stirling Moss Trophy at the Goodwood Members’ Meeting. Some of the early associations we have with iconic racing liveries came from the stuff we played with, and which created awareness for this world of mechanical engineering from an early age.Watch in awe as Hot Wheels Colour Shifters change colours right before your eyes!

The set is playful and collectors appreciate that,” he said. “We’re making 50 sets for people who are through and through car people. The watch is made of titanium and has the Hot Wheels logo engraved on its side, as well as a chequered flag pattern on its dial. Even though I have talked to the dept manager, and 2 asst. managers and they are fine w what I do. What I do t but I put up, where it goes. I use to straighten out the Hot Wheels in the isle. Key word, 'USE' I have been given so much crud, I won't do it. I got Walmart more than the average bear. Actually I like to be there B4 they close, when they bring the freight out. Now, the NOT MANAGERS give me a hard time for even looking at the freight. Why am I a collector. In the year 2021, and keep in mind I would go miles searching for cars. In the whole year I found 3 (yes THREE) STHs in the wild!

Don't give Up. You'll eventually get them too. You need to plan it out. Be there at the right place & the right time 👍 🤙 And then obviously, you know, tastes develop a bit. It really made sense for us to start working with that.

That’s really where the starting point for this set was. Hot Wheels has always been so linked in to the car and design culture of the moment. Since 1968 it’s been such a snapshot of what is cool at any moment in time.So not only are lifelong Hot Wheels fans going to get to design the car of their dreams, but they'll be doing so in front of a host of rotating celebrity guest judges! These judges will join host Rutledge Wood and resident experts Dalal Elsheikh, designer for the Ford Motor Company, and Hertrech “Hert” Eugene Jr., car culture influencer, in encouraging and critiquing contestants' creations throughout the season, where they will review the epic car transformations and crown a winner. It’s not about faithfully just replicating the car. The brief was always that they need to go fast. And they need to look fast. There has always been this focus on creating something that also tells a story and it’s engaging in the world of a 3-4-5 year old. The remaining one is being auctioned online by Bonhams, with proceeds going to the Two Bit Circus Foundation, which supports young inventors. I'm so close to never buying another Hot Wheels again. No different than I just heard a hour ago the premium batmobile set was for sale here, then gone. I never even heard about it.
