Awesome Hot Wheels

Powered by a 250w electric motor, this three-wheeled motorized skateboard can propel a child or small adult under 150lbs. at speeds up to 10mph, and can drive for up to an hour on a single charge.

The Hot Wheels jump stunt was impressive, and we rather enjoyed Top Gear’s buggy loop – but that was nothing compared to this stunt with two cars racing through a double loop at the same time.

Made in loving tribute to Indy Car driver Dan Wheldon, who was killed in a tragic crash last year, the DW-1 has fat rubber tires detailed with Wheldon’s iconic Lionheart logos. (Thanks Bryce!)

Dubbed “The Mother of All Hot Wheels Tracks”, it’s 2,000 feet-long, runs through 14 rooms, and even goes outdoors. Why couldn’t we have had this thing when we were kids? Still, it’s not quite this big.

The ad team at Ogilvy & Mather recently put up these awesome billboards for Hot Wheels, including a giant loop (car not included), and a pair of giant kids who turn a real road into a giant plaything.

Through the magic of 3D projection mapping, the Sydney Customs House was recently converted into a giant racetrack for Hot Wheels cars, courtesy of Muse Amsterdam, PostPanic and BeamSystems.

Is there an age limit for playing with toys? Nope – that’s why we like these cool hot wheels remote control cars (video above), with rc control right on the case, which fits in a pocket. (Thanks Peter!)
