MALAYSIA has been fortunate to be among the countries chosen to host the Hot Wheels Legends Tour. This is the world’s largest travelling car event which searches for a custom vehicle worthy of being immortalised as a 1:64 scale Hot Wheels die-cast vehicle.
In the past two years, one Malaysian entry has been picked for the Global Semi Finals and this year, the entry is most appropriate to represent the country: a customised 2015 Proton Suprima S. The car was built by William Chong, a trailer truck technician from Negeri Sembilan, who was among the 204 entries (a 25% increase over last year).
The Malaysian finals, held in collaboration with Art of Speed Malaysia, were judged by Hot Wheels designers Bryan Benedict, Design Director of Die-Cast Vehicles for the Hot Wheels and Matchbox Brands, and Brendon Vetuskey, the current lead designer of Hot Wheels Monster Trucks and Red Line Club vehicles.
