Most of the fastest Hot Wheels cars are from the early 80's through the early 2000's. But that said, there have been fast cars released in recent years.  The list below shares my fastest Hot Wheels care released from 2018 through 2022.  

Key notes/considerations:

• I race on a two-lane, 27 foot Magic Derby track (equivalent to about one-third of a mile).  The Derby track is 22% wider than a typical Hot Wheels orange track, allowing me to race more car sizes/scales. 
  
• I categorize my cars into speed tiers with 5-Stars being the best. The Top 100 consists of all my 5-Star performers, plus the top 4-Star cars. The 5-star performers all have times under 2.500 seconds. 
• I only count the fastest casting in my rankings for a specific car/brand.  For instance, instead of counting all the very fast Probe Funny Cars, I only recognize the fastest among them. 
• I've applied graphite to the cars, which really brings out the speed potential for diecast.  I'll go into more detail on that in the future.  Some cars only improve slightly, but others improve significantly when dry lubes applied.  

Please see information on the home page for more details on testing method, speed tiers and other details.  

Fastest Hot Wheels - 2018-2022 Releases

* Note that The HW's Race Team version of the 2009 Ford F-150 is not the fastest version of that casting, so it won't be listed in the overall rankings, just the fastest version
