Hosted by Rutledge Wood (“Top Gear US,” “Floor Is Lava”), who also serves as one of the show’s judges, the 10-episode series gives Hot Wheels® superfans the opportunity of a lifetime – turning a nostalgic car from their past into the life-sized Hot Wheels of their dreams.
Each episode features 2 superfans going head to head in an epic car transformation battle, aided by automotive experts from The Car Pool. The season-finale winning creation will rev its engines by launching as an official Hot Wheels die-cast car.
