Hot Wheels PREMIUM Car Culture Volkswagen ID R

The Hot Wheels Volkswagen ID R, catalog number GJP92, is a 1:64 scale premium collector's model released in the Hot Wheels Car Culture: Thrill Climbers series. It is a piece aimed at adult collectors, fans of hill climb racing and electric racing prototypes, as well as those looking for a unique die-cast car with a distinct racing character.

The Volkswagen ID R casting was designed by Mark Jones, and its debut took place specifically in this series—the 2020 Car Culture: Thrill Climbers line. The GJP92 specimen concludes the series at position 5/5. The model comes in Light Grey, replicating the light grey livery in which the car competed in the Pikes Peak race. Pad prints include the race number "94" and the Volkswagen "R" logo on the sides, an "R" logo on the hood, as well as the number "94" and the VW emblem on the roof. The chassis is black metal, the windows are tinted, the interior is black, and the model rolls on CBRRA wheels with rubber Real Riders tires. The chassis bears the marking "Volkswagen I.D.R." The country of manufacture is Thailand.

The prototype is the Volkswagen I.D. R—a fully electric racing prototype built specifically for hill climbs, the first electric racing car in the brand's history, created after Volkswagen's withdrawal from traditional motorsport. It is powered by two electric motors with a total output of approximately 680 hp, delivering torque to both axles, with a weight not exceeding 1,100 kilograms. In June 2018, with Romain Dumas at the wheel, the I.D. R completed the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb course in 7 minutes and 57 seconds, beating the previous record by more than a minute and a half and setting an absolute record for the race.

The collector's value of this model stems from the short production runs of the Car Culture series, its premium craftsmanship with a metal chassis and Real Riders tires, and the fact that it is the debut release of the casting in its original, record-breaking Pikes Peak livery. Its unconventional, prototype silhouette makes the model stand out clearly in any collection.
