New Castings
The Porsche 911 Dakar with the Rallye Design Package pays homage to the modified 911 that won the 1984 Paris-Dakar Rally. The package offers six-point seatbelts, a roll bar, and a fire extinguisher.
Additional features of the 911 Dakar include all-wheel drive, rear-axle steering, active roll stabilization, and performance modes for different off-road conditions. Compared to a standard 911, the Dakar is 50mm higher and its lift system can raise the car by a further 30 mm for even more ground clearance.
The Sterrato is the off-road version of the Lamborghini Huracán. In exchange for less power and a lower top speed, it has a ground clearance increased by 44 mm, underbody reinforcements, the air intake moved to the rear hood, all-terrain tires, and a Rally mode.
The Small Bloc is an original Hot Wheels casting with a wooden appearance and is inspired by 1970s muscle cars.
Recolors of New Castings
The Audi Quattro is a high-performance car produced from 1980 to 1991. The Quattro, which means "four" in Italian, was notable for being one of the first high-performance cars to feature all-wheel drive, which gave it exceptional traction and handling capabilities.
It became the first successful rally car to utilize all-wheel drive, giving it a significant advantage on various terrains. With manufacturer titles in 1982 and 1984, as well as multiple race wins in various rallies, the Audi Quattro earned its legacy as an iconic rally car.
The Porsche 911 Carrera is similar to the Coupe Clip, a Hot Wheels car without wheels that can be used as a keychain.
The E30 BMW M3 is a high-performance version of the BMW 3 Series, first introduced in 1985 and produced from 1986 to 1992. The E30 M3 was primarily produced as a coupe with some convertibles available.
The Hot Wheels casting is a customized two-door wagon version of the E30 BMW M3 which was never produced by the factory.
This original Hot Wheels casting is a squished and cartoony version of the Mazda RX-3 coupe. The Mazda Savanna, exported as the Mazda RX-3, was produced from 1971 to 1978 and featured a rotary-powered Wankel engine.
Known for its smooth power delivery and high revving characteristics, the engine contributed to the car's sporty performance.
The Porsche 904 Carrera GTS was introduced in 1963 and designed primarily for competition in racing events like the Targa Florio, Le Mans, and the Nürburgring 1000 km.
About 106 roadgoing models were built for homologation. They featured Porsche's first composite body on a production car, resulting in an exceptionally light curb weight of about 1500 pounds.
Most were equipped with a 2.0-liter flat-four engine, generating roughly 170 horsepower. This allowed the 904 to accelerate from 0 to 60 in 5.3 seconds and gave it a top speed of nearly 160 mph.
Check out part 2 which has all the new releases and the rest of the recolors in the mix.
