Looks like HotWheels have got into retro gear by releasing this collection of film & TV vehicles, the usual popular KnightRider Kitt, BTTF DMC , A Team van and newbies Magnum PI 308 Ferrari and Smokey & the Bandit TransAm.
The BTTF looks like the old Johnny Lightning version but the A Team van appears to be similar to the regular release one with the plastic wheels.
According to the website they'll be available for around $3, possibly in early 2014. 8)

Good info. I have also seen the Pontiac Fiero from ferris bueller's day off is being done by HotWheels.
Time to check out Walmart if anyone is going to the States. I got several Model D's when I was over in the US for 99 cents a piece.

That looks like the Hotwheels BTTF car body of 2011 mated with the wheels of the HW Boulevard DeLorean of 2012 - real rubber tyres -
.
They have another in the works too:

Two that would be good are the 1955 whitewall wheels version and the 'railroad' type from BTTF 3- plus the standard car with different bonnets....... it wouldn't take much to retool the existing DeLorean and BTTF versions- are you reading this, HotWheels? :lol:

Further to the HotWheels 2014 releases, this is the official designation. One to look for! 8)
Also included in the 2014 collection is the 1964 Aston Martin DB4 (Bond car?),VW Beetle in Herbie colours and the Jetsons flying saucer thing from the 60s cartoon tv series as well :lol:
