Fastest Corgi Cars |
|
An English diecast toy maker that was eventually sold to Mattel in 1989 and was later independent again. Corgi was a strong competitor to Matchbox back in the day. Historically featuring mostly rubber tire collectible cars, but starting in the early 1970's under the Corgi Juniors brand, they released Whizwheels. These were lower friction cars that were a response to the Hot Wheels cars from Mattel and the Superfast line from Matchbox.
I'm actively looking for more speed here. Some of the Whizwheels I've tested are not fast at all, but as you'll see below, I've found a couple of 3-Star cars. On my list to acquire is the Whizwheels blue Jaguar, the Whizwheels VW Hot Rod, the Ferrari 308gtb and the Whizwheel Cougar.

My top Corgi cars. The 3-Star Porsche 911 Turbo and Ferrari 512S. The latter is just a Welterweight. Followed by The Futura, V.W. Hot Rod, The E Type Jaguar and the Porsche 917.

This vintage Whizwheels car, the Ford Capri, came in at an impressive 2.481. But it's 101.7 grams and qualifies only as a Super Heavyweight.
