Most metal (diecast) toy cars are made of a product called ZAMAC or ZAMAK

The bodies and chassis of the cars were actually made of *ZAMAK (German) "zink, aluminium, magnesium and kupfer", also known as Zamac (US) "zinc, aluminum, magnesium and copper". The New Jersey Zinc Company developed zamak alloys in 1929. Zamak has also been referred to over the years as pot metal or white metal. The most common zamak alloy is "zamak 3", but "zamak 2", ""zamak 5 and "zamak 7" are still commercially used. These alloys are most commonly used for die cast. Zamak alloys (particularly #3 and #5) are frequently used in the spin casting industry.

Some toy cars have also been made of tin and plastic.
