The Honda Racer, a car designed by Honda's advanced design studio in Torrance, California, has just hit the streets. But you can't drive it. That's because it is actually a 1/64th scale Hot Wheels toy car that was selected to be produced as part of the Hot Wheels Designer's Challenge along with designs from five other automakers.
Designer Guillermo Gonzalez describes the Racer as "[A vehicle] which combines the excitement of Honda's 
racing heritage with
Hot Wheels' reputation for speed, power, performance and attitude." The toy car's shape is dictated by Honda's 'H' emblem: driver and navigator are separated by Honda's V-10 VTEC engine, and the open cockpit, white and red paint scheme, large exhaust system and open wheels are elements inspired by the historic 1967 Honda RA 273 race car.
Starting in mid-August, a 1/5th scale model of the Racer and other cars from the Designer's Challenge will embark on the Hot Wheels 40th anniversary cross country tour starting at Mattel's headquarters in California and traveling along historic U.S. Route 40.
