How to unlock more cars in Hot Wheels Unleashed 2: Turbocharged

Much of the fun in Hot Wheels Unleashed 2: Turbocharged comes from unlocking and collecting vehicles. Each scale model car in the game has a remarkable and charming design, and like with real-life Hot Wheels, I feel compelled to buy them all. However, not all are available at the start. So how to unlock them?

How to buy cars in Hot Wheels Unleashed 2

There are two ways of purchasing cars in Hot Wheels Unleashed 2: the "Shop" and the "Hot Wheels Spin". To find these, head to the Garage menu.

• The Shop is a random list of six vehicles that refreshes every 45 minutes, but if you don't want to wait, you can always force a refresh by paying 350 coins.
• The Hot Wheels Spin is a slot machine with nine possible prizes, among which you can find vehicles. You can't use credits to spin the machine, since it has its special currency that is unlocked through racing and different events. However, you can use the credits to update the list of prizes, if you don't want to wait 30 minutes until it refreshes on its own.

Bonus tip: I found upgrading cars does not always make them better. At first, you might want to use your credits to buy new cars instead of spending it in packages that may make your cars faster, but also harder to control.
