Mattel Hot Wheels Track Sets: Toyfair 2013
I’m no expert on Hot Wheels but the track sets they showed off at Toyfair all look pretty cool …
Hot Wheels® Team Hot Wheels™ Vertical Velocity
Hot Wheels® drag racing gets big air like never before with Team Hot Wheels™ Vertical Velocity. This thrilling stunt set pits two Team Hot Wheels™ 1:64 vehicles against each other in a vertical mid-air race where being first means safely avoiding a free-fall crash. To start, place a 1:64 Hot Wheels® vehicle in each of the sets’ launchers. Next, pull back the loading mechanism, press the button and the race is off. The vehicles engage in a daring-duel to be fastest in an attempt to be caught in the sets checkered flag cage located on top. The vehicle that does not successfully make the ascent crashes to the ground. Set includes one Team Hot Wheels™ 1:64 vehicle.

This one works with your iPad!
HOT WHEELS® Triple Track Twister Playset
With three daring tracks, two controllers and one huge crash zone, it’s multi-car, never-before-seen mayhem! The set’s free downloadable Action Capture iPad® app and stand that’s integrated into the track adds a whole new dimension of thrills—and a Hot Wheels® first—augmented reality! Once the app is opened and the iPad® is placed in the holder, a new window of play opens with an augmented reality view of the action featuring animated obstacles. To begin racing, hit the red diverter to send cars on a collision course through twists, turns and loops, or hit the blue diverter to blast through the blue tunnel to take on a new track.

This looks like a fun wall one …
