Celebrating car builders worldwide, the 2025 Hot Wheels Legends Tour visited 16 countries, including 11 regional stops across the US. New Tour stops this year included Benelux (Belgium, Netherlands, and Luxembourg), Peru, and Turkey. Over the course of the Tour, Hot Wheels designers and local automotive experts evaluated thousands of vehicle entries, with millions of fans attending events across the globe.
Czarnecki said he put in more than 2,500 hours building and an additional 800 hours of 3D printing of components to make a car that perfectly embodies the “Garage Spirit” mentality that the Hot Wheels judges look for in every submission, Mattel said.
“Powered by a Fiat Uno 1.4 Turbo producing 200 horsepower, paired with a Nissan 200SX GT28 turbocharger and a built Fiat Punto GT gearbox, it delivers rally-ready performance. The car features a custom coil over suspension, a body widened by 18.5 inches, period-correct HTN Motorsport three-piece wheels, Fiat Uno brakes, a flip-forward hood for rapid repairs and adjustments, and a full roll cage—blending historical inspiration with modern fabrication to bring this Polish rally vision to life.”
First east-block Hot Wheels ever. My first car was a Polski Fiat 126P. I was a teenager and I paid it from my own pocket. I was proud of it. 8-)
