At the Hot Wheels Nationals Convention a few months ago, the Mattel team dropped a couple of new model bombs, announcing that two additions to the 2014 Mainline would be the Porsche 934 Turbo and BMW E36 M3.
Both came as a surprise, and a very happy surprise at that. Hot Wheels continues to expand the variety of the models it is releasing, and some from very recent eras. The 934 and E36 follow in the footsteps of the BMW 2002 and E30, as well as the Porsche 993 GT2, among many others. To say we are excited about both of these is an understatement.
