How did Hot Wheels get their name?
Well, back in the day, Elliot Handler, the co-founder of Mattel, noticed his son playing with Matchbox cars and thought, why not make a cooler, faster version? So, inspired by the hot rod culture of the '60s with its flashy cars and speedy reputation, Hot Wheels was born. The name 'Hot Wheels' perfectly captured the essence of these little cars that were all about speed, power, and performance, not to mention they were diecast models that looked hot off the press!

Hot Wheels was named for its hot rod-inspired designs and the idea that these cars were the hottest, fastest toys on the market. It's all about speed and cool designs.
Honestly, 'Hot Wheels' sounds way cooler than 'Moderately Warm Tires.' The name embodies the speed, flair, and excitement that comes with these mini racing cars. Who wouldn't want to collect something called 'Hot Wheels'?
They probably thought 'Hot Wheels' sounded way catchier than 'Speedy Cars' or 'Zoom Zooms.'
