Designers Challenge

This series was released in 2008. For this series, Mattel went outside the company and got designers from automakers Ford, Mitsubishi, Chrysler (Dodge), Lotus, Honda, and GM (Chevrolet) to design a Hot Wheels casting. Hot Wheels designer Jun Imai designed the last casting in the series, HW40. All were made in Thailand.
From the back of the cards:
Designer's Challenge™
The Designer's Challenge™ program was created as a way for Hot Wheels® to actively include its automotive partners in its 40th anniversary celebration by creating exclusive designs for a brand new line. It marks the first time Mattel has ever turned outside the company for original Hot Wheels® designs. The challenge for each automotive manufacturer was to create a Hot Wheels® car that truly captured the brand's core values of speed, power, performance and attitude, while also retaining the distinct attributes of each company's brand essence. All submissions were judged by a panel of Hot Wheels® designers and collectors, as well as automotive journalists from Car & Driver magazine, the Los Angeles Times and Men's Journal. The panel selected one design from each manufacturer and one internal design to be transformed into authentic Hot Wheels® cars. To learn more, go to HotWheelsCollectors.com!
