Ferrari is Back – And Better Than Ever

Ferrari F40 (Mainline)
 After years off the pegs, Ferrari is officially back in the Hot Wheels lineup. The return kicks off with a mainline Ferrari F40 in 2025, one of the most requested castings by collectors. Sleek, red, and iconic. It’s the one that got the biggest cheer in the room.

Ferrari 499P (Circuit Legends)
 Ferrari also features in Car Culture: Circuit Legends Mix 5, where the 499P will drop in red, and for the first time ever, the chase version gets different card art in black. A historic move in the Car Culture series.

Ferrari 250 GTO + Fiat Transporter (Team Transport) History lovers, rejoice. The upcoming Team Transport release pairs the legendary Ferrari 250 GTO with the Fiat 642RN Bartoletti transporter. Classic racing meets collector-grade packaging.

RLC Heat Incoming

1972 Chevy Nova Pro Street (RLC)
 This musclebound beast arrives in Spectraflame purple, complete with SS white stripes, a detachable front, and serious attitude. It’s a must-have for RLC members.

RLC RWB 930 (Prototype Preview) While not shown on screen, a sample of the upcoming RWB 930 was floating around. If the final version lands with Nakai figure integration, it’s going to be a grail for JDM collectors.
