Hot Wheels™ unveiled images of the 1:64-scale version of the highly-anticipated DeLorean Alpha5 – the all-new EV that represents the future of the DeLorean Motor Company – which will officially be shown to the world for the first time on the awards ramp at the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance on August 18.
The Hot Wheels version of the Alpha5 offers a first look at the new DeLorean in three dimensions. Until now, the DeLorean has only been shown as digital renderings. The physical unveiling of the Alpha5 die-cast will take place alongside the life-sized car at a special event during Monterey Car Week. The Hot Wheels Alpha5 will be uncovered by Roberto Stanichi, SVP, Hot Wheels & Global Head of Vehicles at Mattel Inc., and Ted Wu, VP, Global Head of Design for Vehicles at Mattel Inc.
“Like Hot Wheels, the DeLorean name instantly engages the imaginations of car and pop culture fans,” said Stanichi. “We are proud to be a part of this next chapter of the DeLorean Motor Company, with a partnership that we believe will only expand.”
The Hot Wheels design team has been working with DeLorean for four months to develop the 1:64-scale version of DeLorean’s new interpretation of a modern icon.
“The Hot Wheels design team worked closely with DeLorean to recreate the Alpha5 as a die-cast car, carefully depicting its proportions to showcase its true lines as a Hot Wheels, while maintaining the design language that was perfectly executed by Italdesign,” said Wu. “We are excited to share this special car with fans all over the world.”
Fans can pre-order the DeLorean Alpha5 die-cast car starting on August 18 at 10:30 AM PST.
