Hot Wheels PREMIUM Boulevard 105 24 Honda Civic Type-R

The Hot Wheels '24 Honda Civic Type-R in the Spoon version (product number HRT61) is a 1:64 scale collectible model car from the premium Hot Wheels Boulevard line, where it holds the number 105 position in the 2024 release. It is a perfect choice for die-cast collectors and fans of JDM automotive culture, the Honda brand, and Spoon Sports tuning who appreciate faithful reproduction and high-quality craftsmanship.

The '24 Honda Civic Type-R casting was designed for Hot Wheels by Ronald Wong, and it made its debut in 2024—specifically in this Boulevard release—making the Hot Wheels Honda Civic Type-R 105 the debut version of a brand-new mold. The car is finished in Spoon Sports Yellow with a Spoon Sports livery and the number "95" on the sides, along with detailed taillights. The model features a black metal base, a black interior, and smoke-tinted windows. Following the Boulevard series standard, the construction is all-metal—metal body and metal base (Metal/Metal)—and the car rolls on rubber Real Riders tires mounted on realistic rims. The Hot Wheels Civic Type-R HRT61 was produced in Thailand and is sold in a collectible, numbered blister pack with EAN code 194735185450. This is a standard premium Boulevard release—it is not marked as a Chase, Treasure Hunt, or Super Treasure Hunt.

The model was created as an official collaboration between Hot Wheels and the Japanese tuner Spoon Sports, which is why it bears the team's characteristic yellow and blue colors along with the race number and brand markings. Spoon Sports is a Japanese company founded in 1988 by Tatsuru Ichishima, a former Honda test driver, specializing in engine tuning and racing parts for the brand's cars, and is recognizable precisely by its iconic yellow and blue livery. The collaborative, thematic nature of this release makes it particularly attractive to collectors.

The model is based on the FL5 generation Honda Civic Type R—a sport-oriented variant of the eleventh-generation Civic, introduced in 2022 and designed under the direction of Dai Hara. It is powered by a turbocharged 2.0-liter K20C1 inline-four engine producing approximately 320 hp (235 kW), paired with a 6-speed manual transmission and front-wheel drive. The FL5 version became famous for setting lap records for front-wheel-drive cars, including at the Suzuka and Nürburgring circuits, which cemented its status among modern JDM classics.

The collector value of this release stems from the combination of a recognizable subject with the licensed Spoon Sports livery, premium Boulevard specifications (full metal, Real Riders, numbered packaging), and the fact that it is the debut of a new casting. The Hot Wheels Civic Type-R Spoon HRT61 is a collectible model that looks great in a display case and is a valuable addition to collections of Honda models, the Boulevard series, and JDM releases.
