Hot Wheels introduces special-edition "Speed Machines"

Fresh from the baking oven that is the Hot Wheels factory comes a new line of 1:64-scaled die-cast special-edition toy cars that are far from the regular assortments. Calling it the Hot Wheels "Speed Machines" cars, these cars are uniquely different, not just because they’ve been given the "Speed Machines" tag, but because they come with a more-detailed and more accurate portrayal of the world’s fastest machines.

Children really wouldn’t be any wiser on the differences so its safe to assume that this collection is reserved for the inner-child of all car enthusiasts out there, including us. While we don’t usually play around with these toy cars, we wouldn’t be the least bit ashamed having one of these, including the Ferrari 599XX toy model, to play around with at work. For starters, it’s not like we’re forking over a year’s worth of lunch money to buy one because they cost only $2 a pop. And more importantly, we’d rather have one of these than those stick-em-up figurines that are becoming the rage these days. Once a car nut, always a car nut.
