Motorized X-V Racers

Motorized X-V Racers was a series of Hot Wheels cars produced from 1996 to 2000. These were essentially the successors of the Sizzlers castings, which were motorized and flew about the track at high speeds. Each casting came which a charger known as a Power Base Booster. Some reused names from previous Hot Wheels cars.

The series spawned two offshoot series: Motorized Kart Maniax in 2001 and Ferrari X-V in 2005. A number of series in the Motorized X-V Racers line were made.

Regular[]

The regular line ran from 1996 to 2000; most 2000 models were re-runs of 1999 models.

Hot Wheels Racing[]

This was an international series of cars; none of these were distributed in the United States. These represented Formula One cars of the 1999 and 2000 seasons.
