Character Cars
[2010-2020]

Picture
Picture
Hot Wheels has produced Character Cars since 2010.  These sets offer unique castings that depict characters from movies, cartoons, etc. in the form of a car or other vehicle.  Sets have included characters from Toy Story, Star Wars, Marvel and DC Comics, SpongeBob, Ninja Turtles, etc.  I have found more success with Marvel, DC, Stars Wars (including the Carships) and recently the Minecraft cars, but there are other releases that have faster cars as well.  If you know of any additional cars to race, please let me know.  

High potential speed cars include the Han Solo in Carbonite, Elite Praetorian Guard and Snoke.  These are all heavy Star Wars cars.  These were decent performers for me (I have multiples), but without help from dry lubes, the wheels are just not efficient enough.

Here's a picture of my fastest Character Cars.

Elite Speed
Top Tier

​Storm
2020, Marvel Character Cars
50 grams, Gold 5 Spoke wheels
Once you've collected a large set of the fastest cars, it's very difficult to find a newly released car that can compete.  Well the exception is the Storm car from the 2020 Marvel release.  Heavy with a wide stance, this car motors down the track.  This is my fastest Hot Wheels car over the last 10+ years.

High Speed
2nd Tier

And the second fastest modern car from Hot Wheels is the Zombie, another new release.  A long, heavy car (49 grams) from the Minecraft series. Look for the green car in the group picture above.  The Star Wars Carships series has also produced some fast cars.
