Hotwheels… the interactive youtube video
I came across this when I was surfing through youtube. Hotwheels came up with an interactive video where you can choose what car and what mods you need in order to win on a variety of courses. Check it out, it's pretty fun! Choose wisely!

Since you can’t afford the real thing …
Since I can't afford the real thing (yet!) here is the next best thing to keeping your hope alive. Hot Wheels came out with a 2009 Nissan GT-R R35 toy model. I was one of the lucky few to come across this little diamond in the ruff at my local department store. Now if I can only find one of those "Honey, I blew up the kids rays" it would be perfect.

Hot Wheels Designer’s Challenge
So at this year's SEMA, Hot Wheels held a design contest for designers to join in hopes of having their creations made into little die-cast toy. Couple of neat little designs, but I think my favorites have to be the over-the-top Honda and Mitsubishi entries. I'll be perusing the toy aisles at TRU when these come out in Spring 2008...
Honda's Honda Racer
As you can see this little puppy takes much inspiration from Honda's F1 heritage. Using the Honda logo as a basis for the car, they planted an oversized version of Honda's V10 engine from F1. This should be on every Honda fanboys list...lol.
Mitsubishi's Mitsubishi Double Shot
This entry from Mitsubishi takes it's inspiration from the Evo and runs with it. Then goes and sticks a 4G63 engine up front and in back, just for good measure...can you imagine the nightmare this car would be?
