Eric Tscherne



Eric Tscherne was a Hot Wheels Designer from 1998 through 2004. He is best known for ushering in many of the import tuner type cars, as well as, realistic original designs like Muscle Tone, 40 Somethin' and Switchback. The realistically styled originals and the theme of revisting past cars were both something he was known for and were repeated by other designers afterwards. Tscherne also is remembered for creating the Hot Tunerz line which lead to many of the 'Tooned, Fatbax and the poorly recieved Hardnosed styled cars. Tscherne went on to design cars and toys for Jada Toys (Chub City) and created the JL Full Throttle line as well as overhauling the Johnny Lightning brand's look with it's current retro-cool theme for RC2/Learning Curve.
