A rally-inspired Polish Fiat 126B has won the Hot Wheels Legends Tour, which saw Jay Leno as a member of the judging panel.
The tour is the world’s largest traveling car show, and winners can be inducted into the Garage of Legends and turned into a 1:64 scale Hot Wheels die-cast replica.
Paweł Czarnecki’s custom rally-inspired Fiat 126B is the winner of the 2025 edition of the tour.
One of the judges on the panel was automotive enthusiast and comedian Jay Leno, who, as we all know, has an incredible collection of cars.

The Polish Fiat was inspired by rallying
Paweł Czarnecki’s custom rally-inspired Fiat 126B has taken the top honors at this year’s event.
The car is built to resemble the Group B rally cars of the 1980s, such as the Lancia Delta Integrale.
Its builder has even finished the car in a livery similar to the Martini one that Lancias wore.
Paweł Czarnecki spent 2,500 hours building the car, with an additional 800 hours of 3D printing.
It’s small, but under the hood, it has a 1.4-liter turbocharged engine paired with a Nissan 200SX GT28 turbocharger.
With the turbo installed, this pocket rocket produces 200hp hp and comes with a Fiat Punto GT transmission.
It is a stunning-looking car, and more than worthy of winning this great event.
Jay Leno judged the entries to the Hot Wheels Legends Tour
Jay Leno was one of the judges on the panel this year.
No doubt he was very impressed by Czarnecki’s build and how dedicated he was to the competition.
The car evoked the ‘Garage Spirit’ mentality that the judges on the panel always look for with the submissions.
As it has now been crowned the winner, Czarnecki will get a very special prize.
His stunning Fiat will be immortalized as a 1:64-scale diecast replica as part of the Hot Wheels range.
That means we can go out to the shops in the future and buy a scale model of this exact car.
Not only that, but the model of the car will be sold around the world.
So soon, we can get our hands on an all-new Hot Wheels legend.
