Here are 10 of the Coolest Cars in Hot Wheels Unleashed

THE BATMOBILE This legendary vehicle hardly needs any introduction. Everybody knows about Batman's ride, AKA the Batmobile. It's no great surprise to see it on the list of cars from the world of entertainment that have made their way into Hot Wheels Unlimited's ranks. There have been many interpretations of the Batmobile since its inception, but this one is sleek with bodywork that suggests motion even while the car is still. THE VELOCI RACER One of two dinosaur-themed cars in this list, the Veloci Racer almost resembles a motorbike more than it does a car. Nevertheless, it has four wheels and, more importantly, one angry velociraptor comprising the bodywork. With this one, you'll be snapping at your opponnents heels in Hot Wheels Unleashed in no time! THE ROLLER TOASTER As you might expect from its name, the Roller Toaster is essentially a toaster on wheels. This simple yet fun concept was first brought into being by Hot Wheels in 2017, and now it has made the cut for Hot Wheels Unleashed. The overall shape and the back and orange colour scheme give this toaster a 1940s vibe, which suits it well. THE BACK TO THE FUTURE TIME MACHINE Here is another classic car from the big screen: the DeLorean from Back to the Future. While the DeLorean brand is not a part of the car's in-game title, we all know the signature look of the American/Northern Irish brand. It's yet to be discovered what happens if you take this car to 88mph in Hot Wheels Unleashed. THE MOTOSAURUS The second dino-car in this list is the Motosaurus. Taking clear inspiration from Stegasauruses, the Motosaurus doesn't look quite as fast or mean as the Veloci Racer. That being said, the combination of orange and green is always a winner in our books, and a car with giant dinosaur spikes on its back is just a cool concept. THE SNOOPY Simply referred to in game as the 'Snoopy', fans of the comic Peanuts will recognise this vehicle immediately. To be honest, you don't have to be a fan of Peanuts to be familiar with Snoopy riding atop his kennel. The hulking engine on the front of the ensemble gives the kennel a surprisingly aggresive look. THE BUMPAROUND Inspired by the world of bumper cars, the Bumparound was first created by Hot Wheels back in 2013. There have been a few different paintjobs, but this one is an interesting blend of a black base with red highlights and a blue bumper. If it wasn't for the yellow upholstery and pipe, we would say it looked pretty good! THE STREET WIENER On the more ridiculous end of the scale we have the Street Wiener. The designer behind the Roller Toaster, Ryu Asada, also helped to come up with this food-based racer. This is more than just a hot dog on wheels, though! The grill aspects on the front and rear of the car resemble the front and rear wings of drag racers. Perhaps the Street Wiener is a work of aerodynamic genius? THE PARTY WAGON The Party Wagon from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is another popular culture reference that has found its way into the game. Much like the Batomobile, the turtles' Party Wagon has had a few makeovers throughout its lifetime. This one cuts a somewhat menacing figure with its iconic snarling front bumper, and it encapsulates the turtle theme well. THE BUNS OF STEEL This is the third food-related car in the list, and it just so happens that it was also designed by Ryu Asada. The Buns of Steel gives the impression of an imposing 18-wheeler with its shiny silver grille. The giant burger on the flatbed is nice, but the chips rising out of the cockpit are a great touch as well!
