“Wait, why is the middle car circled?”
Guys, I think I may be stupid
I’m glad I wasn’t the only one who thought that at first
Alexa, set an eye exam appointment for Worx.
I went looking tirelessly and thought I was going colorblind. It’s the chassis that looks like a red marking.
Not stupid, just too many years on the internet. I thought the same thing at first glance.
You’re probably conditioned to expect useless red circles everywhere.
Well now wait a minute, the Corvette on top may be correct. The car manufacturer puts so many covers on the bottom of cars now the hot wheels might be accurate.
Making all my toy cars out of plastic not because I’m cheap but because I’m authentic.
Looks like it would be pretty much correct for a C8 but not the C7.
It’s a bit flat but not that flat.
And here I’m wondering where a 2012 Toyota Supra came from
This seems accurate to what modern car underbodies look like, a smooth underbody is very important for aerodynamics and therefore fuel efficiency. For race cars it is often even more important not only for fuel efficiency but for downforce.
Amazing to see Hot Wheels change from gas to hybrid to EV over the years.
Apparently, in order keep the “die cast” label, either the base or the top are die cast.
Some cars are plastic on top and metal on the bottom, and others are metal on top and plastic on the bottom.
As I recall, the wheels are also no longer 4 separate axel pins. They’re just two long pins. One in the front, one in the back.
Lol hotwheels have a locked diff
With free spinning hubs though!
not as much profit in making durable toys
yup. since my kid was born, we’ve collected them. about 500 last count, all inside, never played with in sand. matchbox ones are cooler though, more real world cars in my opinion.
For anyone looking for a fun way to play with your toy cars, I highly recommend the free tabletop game GASLANDS. Glue some guns to them and blow them up with your friends!
useless red circle
That 2012 one looks like I’ve focused it as a UI component. I need to get out and touch some grass.
Not just that what if these are electric cars and don’t need all that stuff in the bottom. Hmmm
Some hypercars actually have a flat undercarriage to maximize aerodynamics. Also not all HotWheels are depicting real cars, so they might not have realistic underbody. This could be one of those 2 cases.
Since not everyone is a car enthusiast, I doubt slight chance of them think of aero stuffs.
Cheaper and cheaper as time goes on. My Tonka dump truck was made from steel and it would hurt me more than I could hurt it.
They can just claim it’s an electric car lol
Shrinkflation
they just came out of a pool!
