The Hot Wheels '72 Mercedes-Benz 280 SEL 4.5 + Mercedes-Benz 190 E 2.5-16, catalog number HBL99, is a 1:64 scale premium collector's 2-pack released as part of the Mercedes-Benz Car Culture 2-Pack line, distributed exclusively through Target stores. The set is aimed at adult collectors, fans of German automotive engineering, and lovers of classic Mercedes-Benz vehicles.

The '72 Mercedes-Benz 280 SEL 4.5 casting was designed by Mark Jones and debuted in 2020 in the Car Culture: Modern Classics series. In this set, the sedan is finished in Metalflake Gray with detailed emblems, lights, and body trim; it features an unpainted ZAMAC chassis, tinted windows, a red interior, and gray RR10SPM wheels with rubber Real Riders tires. The second model is the Mercedes-Benz 190 E 2.5-16, also a Mark Jones design, which debuted in 2017 in the Car Culture: Modern Classics series. In this set, it comes in black with detailed headlights and taillights and silver Mercedes emblems on the rear; it features a ZAMAC chassis, tinted windows, a black interior, and black RRA AeroDisc-style wheels with rubber tires. This version is similar to the earlier DWH66 release, from which it differs primarily in wheel color. Both models were manufactured in Thailand.

The first model is based on the Mercedes-Benz 280 SEL 4.5 (W108 body style) — a long-wheelbase version of the S-Class produced from April 1971 to November 1972 exclusively for the U.S. market. It was powered by a 4.5-liter M117 V8 engine producing 195 hp, paired with a three-speed automatic transmission. A total of 8,173 units were produced, and the model marked the end of the W108/W109 generation. The second prototype is the Mercedes-Benz 190 E 2.5-16 (W201 body style) — a sport-oriented version of the brand's compact model, developed with the participation of Cosworth, featuring a 2.5-liter, 16-valve inline-four engine producing approximately 195 hp and driving the rear axle. This was the base vehicle for cars competing in the German DTM racing series.

The collector value of this set stems from the limited production runs of Car Culture 2-packs, its exclusive retail distribution, the unpainted ZAMAC chassis on both models, and the inclusion of rubber Real Riders tires. The pairing of a stately sedan with a race-bred compact perfectly showcases two different sides of the brand.
