Hot Wheels Elite64 Nissan Stagea Autech version 260RS

The Hot Wheels Nissan Stagea Autech version 260RS, catalog number HWR92, is a collector’s model from the Elite 64 line, released as part of the Mod Shop sub-series. This 1:64 scale replica is aimed at adult collectors and fans of Japanese automotive culture who seek the highest level of craftsmanship—Elite 64 is the most refined line in the brand's portfolio, produced in very limited quantities.

The Nissan Stagea Autech version 260RS casting was designed by Ronald Wong, making its debut in the Elite 64: Mod Shop series in 2026. The base of the casting is labeled "Nissan Stagea 260RS." It is a unique build even by Elite 64 standards: the model consists of 28 parts, 7 of which are interchangeable components included in the Mod Shop package—including the hood with the front fascia, wheels, and a roof rack. These parts can be removed and arranged in various configurations to create several different looks for the same car; depending on the component, they are attached via press-fit or snap-fit mechanisms. The unit is finished in Lightning Yellow with detailed trim decals. The base is black and made of metal, the windows have a slightly tinted shade, and the interior is black. The model rolls on RR wheels, known as Real Riders, with rubber tires. It is manufactured in China.

The real-life inspiration is the Nissan Stagea, a station wagon produced by the Japanese brand from 1996 to 2007. The first generation, designated by the code WC34, was styled by Masato Inoue and designed to compete with the Subaru Legacy Wagon; technically, the car is largely based on the Laurel model and shares many visual elements with the Skyline. The 260RS Autech Version was prepared by the tuning company Autech, equipping the wagon with a 2.6-liter twin-turbocharged RB26DETT inline-six engine, a five-speed manual transmission, and the ATTESA E-TS all-wheel-drive system—all derived from the R33 generation Skyline GT-R. A total of 1,734 units were produced, making the 260RS one of the most sought-after Japanese station wagons in history and a car widely referred to as the "GT-R with a trunk."

For collectors, the HWR92 is an absolutely unique item. Its modular construction with seven interchangeable parts has no equivalent in other Hot Wheels lines, and when combined with a metal base, Real Riders rubber tires, bright yellow paint, and an iconic real-world counterpart, it stands as one of the hardest-to-find models within the Elite 64 range.
