It’s been a hot minute since we’ve seen those iconic prancing horses grace the Hot Wheels track. Over a decade, to be precise. But fret not, because Mattel and Ferrari are back in business, and they’re bringing the heat! This isn’t a casual fling; it’s a full-blown love affair, promising a deluge of Ferrari classics and modern marvels that’ll make your display case weep with joy.
From Le Mans Legends to Pocket-Sized Powerhouses
What’s on the menu, you ask? Well, picture a buffet of automotive greatness. We’re talking everything from the legendary Ferrari F50, ready to unleash its inner roadster beast, to the cutting-edge 499P Modificata, fresh from its Le Mans victory lap. And let’s not forget the original icon of them all, the Ferrari 312P, a nostalgic nod to Hot Wheels’ first-ever Ferrari model from way back in 1970!
The Heritage Set That’ll Make Your Heart Race
For the serious collectors among you, prepare to drool over the Heritage Set. Featuring the aforementioned 312P and the 499P Modificata, these aren’t your average Hot Wheels. We’re talking silver-plated red Spectraflame paint, Neo-Classics and Real Riders wheels – basically, miniature works of art that’ll make your other cars look like they’re stuck in traffic. Priced at a cool $100, it’s an investment in pure, unadulterated automotive glory.
Pocket rockets and RC Revelry
But wait, there’s more! For those who prefer their Ferraris a little more…affordable, Hot Wheels is unleashing a fleet of $1.25 wonders. We’re talking about the sleek SF90 Stradale, the racing-ready F40 Competizione, and the endurance-crashing 365 GTB4 Competizione. Perfect for unleashing your inner kid (or just adding to your ever-growing collection).
And because they know we love a good stunt, they’ve thrown in the SF90 Stradle Assetto Fioranco RC car! This little beast is 1:64 scale and track-compatible, meaning you can finally live out your dream of racing a Ferrari through a loop-de-loop. At $19.99, it’s a steal for the sheer joy of watching a tiny Ferrari defy gravity.
This Summer’s Gonna Be Hot
So, when can you get your hands on these miniature marvels? The first wave hits shelves this summer, with more releases rolling out throughout 2025 and beyond. Keep your eyes peeled at your favourite retailers and on Mattel Creations, because these beauties are sure to fly off the shelves faster than a Ferrari on the Monza straight.
A Legacy of Speed and Style, Reimagined
This collaboration isn’t just about making cool toys; it’s about celebrating the rich history of two iconic brands. Ferrari’s racing pedigree and Hot Wheels’ knack for capturing the essence of automotive dreams are a match made in gearhead heaven. So, get ready to rev your engines and embrace the glorious return of Ferrari to the Hot Wheels universe. It’s gonna be a wild ride!
