On July 12, the Hot Wheels Legends Tour, the world’s largest traveling car show and global contest offering custom car builders the unique opportunity to have their passion projects turned into the next Hot Wheels die-cast toy car, rolls into the Kansas City area.

At this free, family friendly event, Hot Wheels designers and local celebrity judges will examine each vehicle based on three key categories: authenticity, creativity, and garage spirit. The winner of the event will move on to the national semi-final later this year for a chance to represent the U.S. in the Global finale.

The judges are seeking extreme, on-trend, and relevant vehicles while also considering overall creativity. Extra points are awarded when late-nights, early mornings, grit, and determination are evident in the build.

In addition to more than 100 unique vehicles, the Kansas City Hot Wheels Legends Tour event will include activities for fans of all ages, including the Hot Wheels Garage of Legends life-size cars, play spaces where kids can interact with the latest Hot Wheels toys, and Hot Wheels die-cast displays featuring coveted premium and collector cars. Additionally, Hot Wheels enthusiasts can find special edition Hot Wheels Legends products only available on tour.
