Hot Wheels: AcceleRacers is a series of four computer-animated films. They were made in 2005 by a Canadian company called Mainframe Entertainment. This company also created the TV show ReBoot. You could find these films on DVD and VHS. They also aired on Cartoon Network.

This series is a follow-up to the 2003 miniseries Hot Wheels: World Race. It takes place two years after the World Race in California. The story features Hot Wheels toy cars in a situation similar to ReBoot. The racing style might remind you of games like Mario Kart. Warner Bros. Television helped distribute the films. The music for the series was handled by Sony BMG. There was also a collectible card game and other cool toys made for the series.

Cartoon Network showed four special episodes in 2005. These were Ignition (January 8), The Speed of Silence (March 19), Breaking Point (June 25), and The Ultimate Race (October 1).
