Fans of the Barbie doll or the new Barbie movie can now purchase a hot pink replica of the diva's classic Corvette thanks to a collaboration between toy car brand Hot Wheels and Mattel. The remote-controlled automobile borrows design ideas from the classic 1956 Corvette Stingray, even though it is based on the one from Barbie: The Movie.
White elements complement the Barbie pink shade, and accents are used to paint the classic silhouette. A Corvette sticker, white wall tires with chrome rims, functional doors, and a steering wheel are just a few of the realistic additions. The car fits up to two Barbie dolls and also comes in a smaller version that is the size of a classic Hot Wheels car.
