Hot Wheels

The Hot Wheels pinball machine, manufactured by Zaccaria of Bologna, Italy in September 1979, is a four-player, solid-state (SS) game built on Zaccaria's Generation 1 boardset, with artwork by Lorenzo Rimondini.

Centered on an auto-racing theme, Hot Wheels features two flippers, three pop bumpers, a kick-out hole, a 4-bank of drop targets, a roll-under spinner, a swinging target, and ball kickers positioned next to the flippers. Players navigate this layout by manipulating the flippers and pop bumpers while aiming for the game's higher-scoring targets.

The machine's artwork and cabinet reflect the bold, dynamic racing style typical of late-1970s Zaccaria titles. Specific details about the game's designer are not documented, and its rarity relative to other Zaccaria machines from the period is not confirmed, but it remains a distinctive example of the company's late-1970s solid-state output.
