Hot Wheels: Speed Machines

Hot Wheels: Speed Machines is a driving simulator made from the creators of Hot Wheels Season 2010. Unlike Hot Wheels Season 2010, Speed Machines follows the life and times of a driver in the Hot Wheels World Cup, which is a realistic race series and uses licensed vehicles. The game, as stated by 984, "is the complete polar opposite of Season: Season is an arcade racer with kart racer powerups. Speed Machines is a good-looking racing simulator which, when handled correctly, gives you a true feeling of speed."

Gameplay
Gameplay is completely different from Season: the game takes a more realistic approach from racing. The driver starts with a low-powered car, and then wins money from different types of events which can be used to buy more cars.

Damage takes a more profound role: car damage does not regenerate, it must be repaired in the pits. Mechanical damage must be repaired after races. Totaled (or non-race-worthy cars) take time to repair: depending on cars required, number of cars, and other factors, players can miss races due to destroyed cars.

Players can also engage in Quick Races.

Parts can be bought for cars which enhance them, from alternate rear spoilers to performance enhancing parts. However, fitting the best parts together won't make the car extremely powerful: "different parts work in different ways", encouraging the player to get the maximum potential by mixing and matching parts.

Vehicles
Unlike Season, all vehicles in Speed Machines are licensed, real-world cars. Some of them are transferable from Season 2010.

2009 Audi TTS - One of the starting vehicles. Starting colors are orange and blue.

Audi R8 - Audi's first attempt at a supercar, the R8 performs admirably. Starting color is white.

Bugatti Veyron - The third restoration of Bugatti, the Veyron seems to be performing well. It is the most powerful car in the game. Starting color is white/black.

2001 Acura NSX - A race-ready variant of the Acura NSX, which has been race-modified to get much more power than usual. Starting color is yellow/decals.
