“Girls can be racers too.”

Cars aren’t just for boys. 

Mercedes-Benz and Mattel are teaming up to create a Matchbox car with an incredible backstory to remind girls that they have no limits. 

We’ve transformed female racing champion Ewy Rosqvist’s Mercedes-Benz into a toy car that aims to inspire young girls. In 1962, Rosqvist was the first woman to win a long distance rally when she entered the grueling Argentinian Touring Car Grand Prix.   

The car is being gifted to thousands of first graders and coming to stores nationwide.
