The Hot Ones line is a throw back to the classic cars of Mattel's line-up.
Released in 1981, the original "The Hot Ones (1981)" was a series of cars with a new wheel and axle design that allowed the cars to go faster than those of the previous few years. The '70's saw many cost cutting measures to keep Mattel from going bankrupt, which included the thick straight axle design. These cars were much slower than the older models with delrin bearings.
Mattel then brought them out of retirement in mid 2011. The Hot Ones line was renewed for 2012. The wheels in this new series differ slightly from the original Black Walls of the late '70s and 80s.

There were 50 cars in the series, plus some chase versions featuring Red or White Line "The Hot Ones" Wheels.
