The best Hot Wheels tracks and accessories on sale in 2024

Hot Wheels Track Builder Motorised Set

Here’s one of the best Hot Wheels tracks to get if you’re looking for a motorised kit. It comes with a Hot Wheels car, two ‘intersections’ and two electronic boosters, which propel cars as they pass through.

The set comes with a few track layout suggestions in the manual, but thanks to the versatile design you can create your own combinations too, and even add in sections from other Hot Wheels kits. When you’re done, the boosters and intersections click together for easy storage.

While we’re pretty sure adults and children alike could spend hours with this set, it’s ideal for kids aged six to 10.

Hot Wheels Spin Storm

As the name ‘Spin Storm’ suggests, this Hot Wheels track really ramps up the excitement. Collisions and unexpected falls are a real possibility here, thanks to the twisty track, fork-in-the-road and perilous loop-the-loops. There are even two start gates to keep things interesting.

This set comes with one Hot Wheels car, but you can add more from your own collection to boost the jeopardy even further. We’d say this is one of the best Hot Wheels tracks to get friends and family involved in a bit of healthy rivalry.

The set is aimed at anyone over the age of five.

Hot Wheels Ultimate Garage

Behold, the tallest Hot Wheels garage you can buy! This impressive structure is over 90cm tall and has enough space to store more than 100 Hot Wheels cars.

But the standout feature of this set has to be the Robo T-Rex, which tries to munch the cars jumping across the tracks on their way down to the bottom of the garage.

Buy this kit and you’ll get two Hot Wheels cars included. Plus, you can link up other track pieces from the brand to create a truly monstrous structure.

This one’s suitable for kids over five.

Hot Wheels Monster Truck

Hot Wheels cars better watch out when this Monster Truck is on the loose! At over 34cm long and more than 24cm tall, it’s an intimidating prospect for the brand’s 1:64 scale cars.

Push the monster’s tail and the huge jaws snap down to propel the cars into its belly, before releasing them out the other end at the press of a button.

This toy would make a great gift for anyone who already has a few Hot Wheels tracks and cars in their collection.

Hot Wheels Track Builder Flame Stunt Pack

Featuring a flaming hoop, ‘fire flippers’ and a huge loop-the-loop, this is one of the best Hot Wheels tracks out there for daredevils.

You can combine this kit with other Hot Wheels sets and even incorporate the blue storage box to lengthen the track. Plus, you get one car included, so you can start the stunts right away.

Buy this set for kids aged four and over.

Hot Wheels City Shark Chomp Transport

If you’re looking for a little gift to treat someone who already has a few Hot Wheels cars, this could be perfect. With its ever-moving toothy jaws, the mechanical shark swallows up unsuspecting vehicles on the go, storing up to five inside its belly.

Just open the exit ramp at the back of the hauler to release the cars again. You get one additional Hot Wheels vehicle with this set, which is designed for children over four.
