What are diecast cars?

Diecast cars are the original vehicular toys! They’re created by forcing metal (usually an alloy of zinc and aluminium that goes by the cute portmanteau ‘Zamak’) into a mould at high pressure. Once the metal’s cooled, a coat of paint is applied to the model, bringing it to life.

These little toy cars emerged just as the first wave of consumer-affordable automobiles started rolling off the assembly line. Over the years hundreds of makes and models have been recreated as diecast cars. Not only are real cars recreated in miniature but many fictional cars too, from gadget-laden spy-mobiles and superhero vehicles to anthropomorphic cartoon cars.
