Verdict: The Hot Wheels McLaren P1 in Hot Blue...

Phwoar. For good reason, this casting was in my Top 3 best licensed new models of 2015. It was brilliant to see McLaren back with its latest piece of groundbreaking exotica. Hot Wheels has executed it to near perfection, and the colour choices have been sublime. It debuted in stock Volcano Orange before being recoloured in Mercury Silver, and has now returned to the mainline as part of the Exotics segment in Hot Blue. Who knows if there'll be a recolour but if there is, Amethyst Black would be great. This Verdict series is where I will review new models and new versions of castings, so I thought I'd start with one of the stars of 2016 Batch E.

Proportionally the casting is sound, and those big rear wheel haters should have nothing to say as in this case that is accurate. I guess I just wanted to write a post on how awesome this casting is and how it would be amazing to see a mainline debut for the McLaren F1 GTR (perhaps as a Then & Now? These two would make quite a pair...), so I'll let the photos do the rest of the talking...
