Will HotWheels release a new HWA EVO.R casting?
Many of us may have noticed the HotWheels logo on the HWA EVO.R #62 and #63 cars that recently competed in the 24h Nürburgring 2026. Hot Wheels is already a familiar sponsor in major American motorsport series such as NHRA and NASCAR, but seeing the logo at the world-famous Nürburgring felt quite special.
As far as I understand, the HWA EVO.R is not simply a Mercedes-Benz 190E Evo II with a new body kit. Apart from the Mercedes-Benz M276 V6 powerplant and its obvious visual connection to the original Evo II, the car is very much an HWA-built reinterpretation. Because of that, I do not think HotWheels would simply apply an HWA livery to the existing DWH66 casting and call it done.
So, could the HotWheels sponsorship on the HWA EVO.R be a hint that we might see a dedicated HWA EVO.R casting in the near future? It would certainly be an exciting addition for both HotWheels collectors and motorsport fans.
