Hot Wheels x Futura Laboratories Collab: Mitsubishi 3000GT VR-4 | Mattel Creations
A visionary who first introduced abstraction to an entirely letter-based graffiti movement, Futura’s works are celebrated for their kinetic power and sheer inventiveness. His expressionistic piece “Moment, Magnitude, Scale” inspires the deco of this die-cast car.

AUTO IMITATES ART
Futura chose the twin-turbo Mitsubishi 3000GT because of his connection to Japan, an integral part of his career and friendships. The livery features distinctive elements of Futura’s work, including his “Perpetual Motion” atom motif, which you’ll discover in multiple places. A custom “DOSMIL” (meaning “2000” as in “Futura 2000”) license plate rounds out the design.
OPEN ON ARRIVAL
Inside the custom shipper, you’ll discover more artwork on the outer box and inner slip cover. Don’t leave the car in there. Futura says, “It's a Hot Wheels vehicle. I think it should be enjoyed and brought out into the world and played with.”

Futura’s art didn’t stop in the subway. It moved to museums, fine art galleries, sneakers, and more. In that spirit, we partnered with Complex and his brand, Futura Laboratories on a special capsule celebrating die-cast cars.
