Barbie's Wheeled World: Beyond the Pink Corvette
Sure, we expect to see her iconic pink 1950s Corvette in the movie, but Barbie's automotive journey goes far beyond that.

And don't even get us started on the drop-top Porsche 911, a real-life 530-hp pink Maserati, and the full-sized white convertible with wings for doors, based on a Fiat. There is even a connection to Magnum P.I.'s Ferrari! Talk about a diverse collection!

Euro-Snob Barbie: Embracing Small European Sports Cars

A Multi-Talented Barbie: From NASCAR to Corvette Racing
Barbie is no one-trick pony; she's had numerous careers, including stock-car racing! The 1998 NASCAR Barbie, complete with a firesuit and racing helmet, was a hit.
