Hot Wheels Apptivity Diecasts & iPad Software
Coming this May are more diecasts for your iPad!
Apptivity™ Car Assortment for iPad
“For the first time ever, kids can use a real-life, 1:64 scale Hot Wheels® car on their iPad®! The revolutionary tech 2.0 Hot Wheels® Apptivity™ assortment gives kids the ability to blend physical and digital play into one immersive experience at the Hot Wheels® Test Facility™.
Mom and dad need not worry – the specially designed “Active Touch” anti-scratch technology on the vehicle ensures iPad screen surfaces go unscathed.
To get started, simply download the free Hot Wheels® Apptivity™ app from the iTunes store, tap on the app, place your vehicle on the screen and you’re ready to race.
The special Active Touch technology integrated in the vehicle interacts with the app letting kids customize their driving style, swerve past obstacles or just cut loose and burn rubber around the race track. With three included games, kids will have a blast racing Hot Wheels® cars on their iPad®. Challenge one, a search and blast game lets kids equip their Team Hot Wheels™ vehicle with blasters while racing to seek out enemy vehicles. The long jump game lets kids race and ramp their vehicle over obstacles including cities as they try and stay in the air as long as they can. The last challenge is a race circuit game where kids can feel what its like to drift and drive a Hot Wheels® vehicle in a competitive racing environment. Set includes two Hot Wheels® Apptivity™ vehicles.”
ARP: $19.99
Ages: 4+
Since the iPad 3 should be out by then, might as well just hand over your iPad 2 to them, you’ll never get to use it any more anyway. 🙂
Of course, you can find the CARS 2 AppMates at Amazon or at Target.
I guess a $1,000 iPad for the kids is worth it for some parents who don’t want their houses cluttered up with orange track all over the place…
(Me, I just break out my own Hot Wheels and race along!)
That reminds me; I need to get my Hot Wheels Video Racer that I got for 75% off at an after-Christmas clearance sale, and run it through Stig Jr.’s Mater the Greater playset!
Just think… there’s an app for that…
I found a post on Crave the other day – there’s a tiny Hot Wheels app/controller/Car that lets you turn your iPhone into a controller… the link is at:

I think I might check into that…
