Today at the Nuremberg International Toy Fair, Mattel, Inc.
(NASDAQ: MAT) announced a new Hot Wheels® partnership with Ferrari,
the legendary luxury car manufacturer, to develop a full range of
Hot Wheels products. As the first time in more than 10 years that
Hot Wheels products will be adorned with the iconic Prancing Horse,
the collection will deliver a wide range of Ferrari classics and
the newest and most technologically advanced models, including
celebrated racing and road cars. The first product drop of the
collaboration will take place this spring, with the first die-cast
available for pre-order on Mattel Creations. Additional
announcements and product drops will follow throughout 2025 and
beyond.
Since Hot Wheels was founded in 1968, the two iconic brands have
collaborated many times with 26 previous models. Several of these
Ferrari castings have become highly sought after by collectors. The
new product line will expand on the previous die-cast collection
and will include limited-edition models available through Mattel
Creations, RC models and 1:64 scale die-casts available wherever
Hot Wheels are sold globally.
“It was a passion project for the Hot Wheels team to deliver
authentic visions of these iconic Ferrari models for the next
generation of car lovers to enjoy while, at the same time, creating
something extra-special for collectors to appreciate,” said Roberto
Stanichi, executive vice president of Hot Wheels and Head of
Vehicles & Building Sets at Mattel, “We look forward to seeing
the world’s reaction to our vision for some of the most beautiful
rolling works of art in automotive history, crafted by our team of
design experts that can do it better than anyone else can.”
Ferrari is not only one of the most prestigious and luxurious
car manufacturers, but also the most successful racing brand in the
world, winning more than 5,000 races across multiple categories,
including 16 Constructors' Championships and 15 Drivers'
Championships in Formula 1. The company’s accomplishments in racing
solidified its reputation as an esteemed sports car
manufacturer.
Following the initial release this spring, the collaboration
will expand over the course of 2025 and beyond. For more
