Kids love Hot Wheels. Adults love the idea of stepping on fewer Hot Wheels. And now, thanks to the most significant track update since the late ’60s, everyone might just get what they want.
Enter the Speed SnapTrack System—Hot Wheels’ biggest innovation since the OG orange track dropped in 1968. Think: snap-together pieces that even a 3-year-old can assemble without turning the living room into a plastic-rage crime scene. Gone are the days of forcing mismatched pieces into place with the intensity of a Formula 1 pit crew. With Speed Snap, it’s click, connect, and go full throttle.
Better yet, the new system still works with your mountain of old Hot Wheels track, so you don’t have to Marie Kondo your childhood stash. And for the grown-ups (or, let’s be honest, the other “kids” in the house), clean-up is now fast, merciful, and storage-friendly.
Launching with kits like the Triple Loop Speed Kit and Boosted Jump Speedway, plus straight track packs for expansion, Speed Snap is clearly here to raise hell—with fewer tantrums. Oh, and there’s a free app too, because even Hot Wheels knows it’s 2025.
Now go build some loops. And maybe clear the floor first.
