Hot Wheels Rivited

Hot Wheels Rivited — The Rebel’s Roar, The Maniac’s Weapon

You want refined? Go buy a Lexus.
This is Rivited, and it was never built to blend in.

This is the Metal Maniacs’ middle finger to subtlety—a snarling, flame-drenched, metallic orange savage that rips through the Acceleracers universe like it’s got a personal vendetta against the laws of physics. Car #4 in the Metal Maniac line. G8099 in the collector logs. But let’s be honest—you’re not here for numbers. You’re here for power.

Hot Wheels Rivited wasn’t born in a design studio — it was born in a bar fight. You can just look at this thing and know somebody got drunk, grabbed a blowtorch, and said, “Screw aerodynamics, let’s make a tank.” And they did. Rivited looks like the bastard child of a muscle car and a battering ram, thrown together without a single thought for subtlety. Which, honestly, is exactly what makes it so damn perfect.

Rolling out of the Metal Maniacs garage, Hot Wheels Rivited didn’t care about looking pretty. It didn’t care about speed records either. All it cared about was surviving — and maybe turning a few other cars into roadkill along the way. Slick Teku rides would try to zip around it with all their fancy tech and neon glow, and Rivited would just plow through the chaos like it was out for a Sunday drive. Try to outmaneuver it all you want — Rivited wasn’t chasing you. It was daring you to get close enough to regret it.

Hot Wheels Rivited didn’t dance around the track. It stomped. It bullied. It survived wrecks that would’ve sent half the other cars home in a body bag. In a Racing Realm full of flashy moves and overcompensating designs, Hot Wheels Rivited was pure, ugly survival. It wasn’t built to impress. It was built to win — or die trying. And honestly? It looked like it didn’t give a damn either way.

Built to Break the Track, Not Win a Popularity Contest

Designed by Larry Wood, a guy who clearly didn’t care about restraint, Hot Wheels Rivited is all aggression, no apologies.
It looks like it was designed in a machine shop by a guy with a welding torch in one hand and a grudge in the other.

• Metallic orange paint with black flames that look like they were scorched on during a bar fight

• Chromoly steel chassis, carbon fiber body

• 20-inch fronts, 22-inch rears, because even the wheels are out for blood

• Four-link rear suspension and coilovers up front, just in case you wanted to fly through a wall and stick the landing

This thing isn’t a car. It’s a blunt instrument with a gas pedal.

The Hot Wheels Acceleracers Metal Maniacs lineup includes Jack Hammer, Rivited, Rollin’ Thunder, Power Bomb, Spine Buster, Ratified, and Hollowback

In the Acceleracers Lore, It’s Straight-Up Vengeance on Wheels

After Taro’s Roadrunner got struck by lightning in the Storm Realm (yeah, seriously),Hot Wheels  Rivited was built from the wreckage—like some twisted phoenix with torque.

And guess what? It doesn’t just replace the old ride—it outclasses it, outlasts it, and outdrives every Teku wannabe in its path.

Driven by Taro Kitano in the series, Rivited is the machine you build when you’re done playing nice and you’re ready to leave scorched earth behind.

Final Word

It’s a symbol of raw survival. Of what happens when you get knocked out, rebuilt, and sent back to raise hell.

If your collection doesn’t have Rivited in it, it’s not a collection. It’s a shelf full of regrets waiting to happen.

Buy it. Race it. Or get left behind.
