The Hot Wheels '72 Mercedes-Benz 280 SEL 4.5, catalog number HCK18, is a 1:64 scale collectible model from the premium line, released in the Hot Wheels Car Culture: AutoStrasse series—an installment inspired by the German Autobahn and local automotive culture. The model is aimed at adult collectors, fans of classic sedans, and enthusiasts of the Mercedes-Benz brand.

The '72 Mercedes-Benz 280 SEL 4.5 casting was designed by Mark Jones, and its debut occurred in 2020 in the Car Culture: Modern Classics series. The HCK18 unit comes from 2022 and opens the Car Culture: AutoStrasse series at position 1/5. The body is finished in Metalflake Forest Green—a deep, metallic green that perfectly suits the character of the original—with detailed headlights, taillights, trim, and a license plate reading "BNZ 280." The chassis is made of raw ZAMAC, the windows are tinted, and the interior is finished in dark beige. The model rolls on chrome RRSteelie wheels with rubber Real Riders tires, styled to resemble period-correct steel rims with hubcaps. The country of manufacture is Thailand.

The original vehicle is the Mercedes-Benz 280 SEL 4.5 built on the W108 chassis—an S-Class designed by Paul Bracq, whose clean, balanced proportions are still considered one of the most successful designs in the brand's history. The 280 SEL 4.5 version was produced from April 1971 to November 1972 and sold exclusively on the American market. It was powered by a 4.5-liter M117 V8 engine producing 195 hp, paired with a three-speed automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive; this unit was developed to meet stricter American emission standards. A total of 8,173 units were produced, and the model marked the end of the W108/W109 generation production.

The collectible value of this edition stems from the limited print runs of the Car Culture series, the raw ZAMAC chassis, the rubber Real Riders tires, and the very elegant, understated combination of the dark green paint with a beige interior and chrome wheels.
