If the thought of racing a smaller piece of pop culture history that can be parked in your pocket sounds appealing, then Hot Wheels Unleashed's expanded selection of cinematic rides might appeal to you. In the latest trailer for the game, developer Milestone has revealed the inclusion of iconic vehicles such as The Party Wagon from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Batman's Batmobile, Back to the Future's DeLorean, Knight Rider's K.I.T.T, and Snoopy's Barnstormer.

The idea of more exotic vehicles from Hot Wheels ties into the history of the toy franchise, as the toy line has regularly recreated cars from across film, television, and video games. According to Milestone, cars can be upgraded using the in-game Rarity System, which allows players to collect and dismantle in-game vehicles in order to improve their performance. Some upgrades can only be discovered in unique and secret ways.

If you'd prefer a less fictional car, Hot Wheels Unleashed has a number of other scale-replica vehicles to collect in the game, ranging from classics such as the 1971 El Camino and 1956 Ford Truck to more modern hypercars like the 2020 Koenigsegg Jesko.
