MINI GT ROLLS OUT QUBECARZ - A RAD NEW TWIST ON THE ART OF THE MINIATURE. WE WANT THEM ALL!
Since roaring onto the scene in 2017, MINI GT has been rewriting the rulebook for 1:64 scale die-cast models. The brand carved its own lane with a razor-sharp balance between detail, quality, and price, quickly earning a cult following among serious collectors and casual enthusiasts alike. Each MINI GT model isn’t just a shrunken car - it’s a celebration of the human-machine bond, an homage to decades of automotive history, design, and passion, all distilled into a piece small enough to sit in the palm of your hand. From the elegant lines of a vintage classic to the snarling aggression of a GT racer, MINI GT’s commitment to capturing the essence of every vehicle has turned its releases into must-have slices of automotive art.
Now, the masters of miniature are shaking things up. Meet QubeCarz - a playful new series that reimagines iconic rides with a squished, chunky charm reminiscent of the original Micro Machines, but with MINI GT’s trademark attention to detail and craftsmanship. These aren’t just toy-like caricatures; they’re a bold stylistic twist that keeps the spirit of the real car alive while adding a dose of fun and collectability. After nearly a year of design and development, the team has achieved the perfect balance between stylised shapes and authentic character, making each QubeCarz instantly recognisable despite its exaggerated proportions.
Underneath the quirky aesthetic, QubeCarz still deliver the tactile quality collectors expect. Each model boasts a die-cast metal body and chassis, detailed wheels with soft rubber tires, and a smooth, weighty rolling action that feels premium in hand. Packaging is just as bold, vibrantly colored blister cards that make each release pop on the shelf. Every wave brings six models into the lineup, but there’s a twist for the thrill-seekers: limited-edition chase versions, strictly capped at just 500 units worldwide per model, randomly inserted into production. Finding one is pure collector’s gold.
For MINI GT, QubeCarz isn’t a side project - it’s an expansion of the brand’s philosophy. It’s about making collecting not just an appreciation of precision and realism, but also an expression of personality, nostalgia, and fun. Whether you’re a long-time 1:64 purist or new to the scene, QubeCarz slot right into the MINI GT universe, bridging the gap between high-detail realism and joyful, stylised play. And with pre-orders opening Friday, August 8, collectors will soon get the chance to add this fresh spin on automotive artistry to their display cases, or their desks, or their pockets. From hyper-accurate GT3 machines to irresistibly squished Qubes, MINI GT continues to prove that scale doesn’t limit style, creativity, or the thrill of the chase.
Collector’s Corner: The QubeCarz Chase Hunt
Hidden in every wave of QubeCarz lies the ultimate collector’s thrill - the chase version. These ultra-limited models are capped at just 500 units worldwide, and they’re randomly mixed into the production run. No special ordering. No guarantees. Just pure hunt-and-find excitement. Spotting one is like finding the rarest gem in a sea of shiny metal - it’s part luck, part timing, and all bragging rights. Whether you keep it carded or crack it open, owning a chase means you’ve joined an elite club within the MINI GT community. Our mate Matthew from DC Imports and Enamel Ridez is the chap who can hook you up with the rad lil things. But get in line, our order is first!
