PLAYFOREVER

An American muscle car, make it bigger, faster, stronger. Detroit carmakers saw what the hot rodders were doing in the late 60's and started bringing these ideas to the workingman. Steal a few ideas from Italian supercars and the muscle car was born. Popular culture stole it back and has never let it go, badass rebellion and freedom. We can't think of a type of car that gets customised more as people express their inner rebel.

Leadbelly is our homage to the muscle car, brutally simple, minimalist lines, lowered over some of the fattest tires we have ever made. Leadbelly sits in the Verve range, and just like a muscle car is built to be tough and last a lifetime with a beautiful shine. Watch this space, there could be more...

Straight out of 1960s New York, our Maverick Heat vehicles are a bold representation of the famous ‘slab-sided’ vehicles of the era. Racing
through busy streets, lights flashing and sirens screaming; with distinctive flat sides and super large surface areas, this was a time for boldness and confidence in design.

A hip, cool, statement piece that takes us back to the days of cop shows and the streets of New York, Maverick Heat is a toy to be treasured by all ages.

Engines revving, propellers spinning, helmets and goggles at the ready: Mimmo is a modern interpretation of early 20th century racing aeroplanes.

With a solid body and simple, eye-catching graphics on the wing and tail, just like the rest of our Classic collection, Mimmo is built to last from the finest quality materials. A classic heirloom toy to be loved and cherished by children and grown ups alike, from take-off to landing and all the loop-the-loops in-between.

While this model offers unique features, please note that its wheels may not roll as seamlessly as those in our other models.

EGG ROADSTER featuring PILOT KARLOS Scrambler, Sunnysider and Hardy make up the Egg Roadster super-trio. Pilot Karlos making his first appearance sitting all snug in his crazy-wild egg shaped racer. It’s amazing to think that this style was a direct spin off from the concepts created in our collaboration with Hugo Boss in 2017.

Now, Rufus (Dog Car) has a fierce competitor and he will need to wear his best game face. Let’s talk about those crazy wheels! The thinking behind the extravagant shape is an amalgamation of the beefy 80’s yo-yo and rally car wheels of the same era and yes, they are as impossibly deep as we could make them and to give them an even wider stance we’ve added that exaggerated lip. We call these wheels the 5 spoke wacky classics wrapped in Sunray rubber. Anyway, let’s not waffle. Line up Rufus and Karlos on the grid and let’s get racing.

Back in the sixties super cars were voluptuous beaten aluminum shells, with supermodel curves, organic shapes that looked like they had been sculpted out of marble. But, in Italy there was a new generation of designers working all hours on radical new ideas that seemed to be straight out of the future. So started the era of unworldly 70’s concept cars which were basically wedges on wheels, all angles and edges with skins stretched between them. Roof heights were dropped to windowsill level, you practically sat on the floor, windscreens and bonnets shared the same flat plane. Always with a V12 beast that felt like it was screaming right behind your head. A lot of these concepts to most people are forgotten, but one became the poster on every boy's wall in the 80’s. It is hard to understate the influence these cars have had on popular culture, not just in automotive exteriors, but Sci-Fi movies, fighter jets, speed boats and many more recognisable forms in our lives. UFO is our celebration of dreaming big, and radical change.

Block your ears, Zemonsta is firing up and even when idling one's skin begins to crawl. Another formidable and fierce track eater has arrived and we think Ken could be a little nervous (we're shaking too). Gorging on chunks of inspiration from the iconic Porsche 917 we at Playforever set out to abstract the beast of beasts. In fact, with all the Zemonsta untamed fury, we'll probably need to unload some extra rows of Sunray tires for test day. Zemonsta is hungry, move out of the way or be devoured.

Formula 1 in the 80's was all about turbocharging to get more speed. Downforce was your only friend getting you around those fast corners alive. Unapologetic clashing colours, box wings, massive air ducts and extremely bold graphics sliced through what came before. All this brash confidence was a tangible force driving aesthetics and pushing boundaries. Turbo captures the spirit and magic of the most infectious decade ever.

From the 60's we have Malibu, from the 70's comes our best-selling Velocita and now we are over excited to offer our most captivating yet, our 80's Turbo!

On your marks get set go! You can almost hear the roar of the engine as Malibu stands poised, ready for the race. Drawing inspiration from the early Maserati Formula 1 cars of the 20s and 30s but with a modern Playforever twist, our Malibu racing car is built for speed. With a pure and simple cigar tube chassis, long nose and wide open mouth, its shape is sleek and stream-lined whilst its wide profile, low-to-the-ground rubber tyres give it a bold confidence to rival all others at the starting grid.

Fierce, but just as fast, Malibu is slightly smaller than the rest of our collection, proving that when it comes to speed, size isn't everything.

Luft was inspired by a very chic 1985 Porsche 911 Carrera 3.2 Targa that Playforever's founder Julian Meagher owned while living in Florence, Italy for 2 years. This car in a beautiful shade of ivory was perfect for buzzing around the hills of Tuscany and most certainly made every school run an absolute pleasure. We started designing the form of Luft without any details whatsoever apart from the wrap-around Targa band which seemed to be the way to go. So, we put all our balls on and went for it knowing full well that countless 911 fans and car designers would be scrutinising our work. Luckily we pulled it off and we are very happy with how it turned out. We plan to make another 911 based on the 80's icon the 930 turbo and we might even make it a slant-nose with a double-scale whale tail. Have a look at our Instagram feed for some more on that.

Meagher's Targa has now been sold to a lovely Danish family who I'm sure will care for her and keep her in beautiful condition.

Introducing Rufus, the coolest canine-driven racing car we have ever seen!

The Rufus collection is designed and made by Playforever, following their recent collaboration with Hugo Boss. A streamlined shape with a geometric front and pointed 'ridge' on the bonnet top, smoothing out to a rounded form at the back, this car means business - and SPEED! I mean, those dogs' ears say it all.

Just like all Playforever products, Rufus is not only beautifully designed, it is built using the finest quality materials to last a lifetime.

The very first vehicle in our collection, Bruno is a Playforever original. Born from a childhood fascination with tin cars and inspired by the beauty of classic cigar racers, founder Julian Meagher set out to create a debut piece that not only looked classic and stunning, but that was beautifully made from the very best materials available. Months of researching production methods to attain the glossiest surfaces possible; 5mm thick wall sections that had never been achieved before and that produced a solid sound, resonating when tapped; genuine rubber tyres as opposed to cheap skin versions. Honest materials that spelled quality, celebrating plastic as a truly exceptional material.

It was following an initial meeting with Nicky King at Habitat in 2004 that Julian's dream finally became a reality - the very first Bruno racing cars came off the production line, and began to grace the homes and playrooms of customers young and old, all over Europe.

The story of Bruno is a labour of love, beginning with a passion and a dream, and ending with a lifelong heirloom toy to be passed on, played with and remembered for generations.
