Hot Wheels of the Day LaFerrari HW City – Speed Team (2014 New Models) RELEASE YEAR: 2014 • CASTING DESIGNER: Phil Riehlman Once again, there are rumblings that Ferrari could be coming back to Hot Wheels in 2024. If Hot Wheels and Ferrari are able to strike a […]
Just last week I took a look at #The History of Hot Wheels II set on the OTD YouTube channel. The set itself is severely underrated as it contains eight great castings with plain decos and premium wheels. It was a #FAO Schwarz Exclusive in 1996, and isn’t […]
Lets talk: #Enzo Ferrari. How many of you were collecting when this one came out as part of the #2003 First Editions? Only one color for this new model — bright #Ferrari red — and finding them was by no means, hard. At one point, I even had […]
Welcome to a new segment here at Orange Track Diecast called “Casting Profile”. In each of these profiles, we will take a look at a certain Hot Wheels casting and examine its releases, value and other fun facts. I know a lot of you are going to enjoy […]

There is somewhat of a mystery surrounding the Hot Wheels Ferrari F430 Challenge casting. When did it appear? Many collectors (including myself), had believed that the mystery lied within a mystery, in that the first occurrence of this challenge version occurred in the 2009 Mystery Cars — a segment […]
Towards the end of the last year of the last millennium (1999), Hot Wheels slipped in four Ferrari castings: Ferrari 456M, Ferrari F50 (hardtop), and the Ferrari F355 in both the Challenge and Spider trim levels. Had this happened in 2015, it would have been a much bigger deal given […]
While Mattel and Ferrari are still at a standoff in terms of their licensing agreement that ended in 2015, we look at a Ferrari model that was recently introduced–the Ferrari F12 Berlinetta. A new model for 2013, this Ferrari was introduced as part of the All Stars Series. […]
