Top Speed

Hot Wheels Top Speed was a line of futuristic all-plastic vehicles introduced in 1995 and advertised as the "most advanced vehicles in Hot Wheels History!"
Eight unique castings were issued exclusively for Top Speed and each featured a small metal hook on the bottom which could be hooked into a special launcher which was also exclusive to the series. A sub-series called "NEW Solar Flares Vehicles" featured two castings that were exclusive to the Solar Flares series while the other six vehicles could be found in both the Solar Flares sub-series and the regular series. The cars had a chassis bar on the base which could be moved forward to restrict the pivoting body for "drag racing action" and back to release it for "loops, curves and pipes." The cars did not have the name on the base but the names could be found on the rear of the packaging. They were advertised as having "Co-Molded Wheels," a "Floating Front Axle" and a "Poly-Carb Body." Each model came in two "computer-age" color schemes which featured a transparent body, chrome interior and engine piece, brightly colored base, bright tampos and either Hot Hubs or Progressive Oval Wheels. The Solar Flares vehicles came with a tinted chrome interior and clear outer portion of the wheels.
The cars could only be purchased in packs of two or included in playsets. The two-packs also included a "Catapult Launcher" and an "Accelerator Tube" of which regular orange track pieces could be connected to. The launcher was to be clipped onto the Accelerator Tube by folding down each end cap of the tube and sliding the launcher onto the end cap ribs. The car was to be placed on the launcher wheels down where the chassis hook drops down freely and the hooked placed into the slot closest to the end of the tube and pulled back until the launcher "clicks" and the starter tab pops out. Press the tab and the car catapults forward at "incredible speed." 
Three playsets were released, the "Ultra Pipe Fight", "Triple Threat", and the "Cruel Duel". The cars were designed by Mark Jones, Bruce Baur, Ed Watts and another Hot Wheels employee at the time named "Paul".
