2025 HOT WHEELS LEGENDS TOUR RECAP

2025 HOT WHEELS LEGENDS TOUR RECAP

Last year’s Hot Wheels Legends Tour continued its global momentum. The Tour's Global Grand Finale featured Jay Leno and a host of automotive, design, and culture experts. We crowned a contestant from Poland as the winner: Paul Czarnecki, with his custom 1990 Polski FIAT 126p BIS. The mid-engine, Group B-inspired rally build was widened nearly half a meter from stock and built entirely in his garage.

SETTING THE STANDARD

Previous winning builds were so incredible, our design team honored them by turning each one into a Hot Wheels die-cast car. It took the full-size builders years of imagination and hard work to realize their visions, and now you can hold them in the palm of your hand.
