Mattel Television and NBCUniversal have announced Hot Wheels Ultimate Challenge. <\/em>In this car makeover show,\u00a0gearheads go head-to-head to transform ordinary vehicles into unique life-size Hot Wheels cars, with the opportunity to have their design turned into a production Hot Wheels car.<\/p>\n

The competition series will be hosted by Rutledge Wood (Top Gear US, Floor Is Lava),<\/em> who will be joined by experts Hertrech Eugene Jr., a car culture influencer, and Dalal Elsheikh, an Advanced Autonomous Vehicle Designer at Ford Motor Company and Hot Wheels brand ambassador. Expect a revolving door of celebrities to join the judging panel each week. Fingers crossed, we get some wild and over-the-top creations like the retro-futuristic jet-powered Hot Wheels car below rather than just a Ford Mustang with a lowered suspension and a widebody kit.<\/p>\n

Hot Wheels Ultimate Challenge<\/em> is headed to NBC with ten episodes in the works for its first season. It’s expected to premiere later in 2023, though a release date has yet to be announced.<\/p>\n
