Hot Wheels PREMIUM Fast & Furious Honda S2000

Hot Wheels Honda S2000 with catalog number GJR81 is a collectible model from the Premium line, released in the Fast & Furious: Quick Shifters series as item 1/5. This 1:64 scale model is aimed at adult collectors, fans of Japanese roadsters, and fans of the Fast & Furious film saga. It stands out from a standard die-cast car with its metal base, Real Riders rubber tires, and detailed tampo printing.

The Honda S2000 casting was designed by Ryu Asada, for whom the S2000 was the favorite Japanese car of all time. It debuted in 2011 in the New Models series under number T9690. The casting does not depict the production car, but rather a modified version based on the designer's original concept: with a fixed hardtop roof, a roof-mounted air intake, a front splitter, a rear wing, and a modified hood.

The 2020 GJR81 version is finished in pink, and its most distinctive feature is the pink and purple graphic of a girl on the sides of the bodywork—a faithful reproduction of the movie car's paint job. The base is pink and metal, matching the color of the bodywork, the windows are transparent, and the interior is finished in white. The model rolls on MCRR wheels, meaning Real Riders with rubber tires. The country of manufacture is Thailand.

The model was created as part of Hot Wheels' collaboration with the Fast & Furious license and reproduces the pink Honda S2000 belonging to Suki—the character played by Devon Aoki in the second installment of the saga. It is one of the most recognizable cars in the entire film series and also one of the symbols of early 2000s tuning aesthetics: bright paint, full anime-style graphics, and striking details. Models under this license consistently rank among the fastest-selling items in the brand's lineup.

The original is the Honda S2000—a two-seater roadster introduced at the end of the 1990s to celebrate the brand's 50th anniversary. It was powered by a naturally aspirated, two-liter, inline four-cylinder engine with VTEC, one of the highest-revving engines in production, delivering power to the rear axle through a six-speed manual transmission. The car stood out for its near-perfect weight distribution thanks to the engine positioned behind the front axle and its digital instrument cluster. The S2000 remains one of the most highly regarded Japanese sports cars and has yet to receive a direct successor.

For collectors, GJR81 is instantly recognizable. The all-pink color scheme—including the metal base matching the bodywork color—and the white interior create a combination that has not been repeated in any other version of this casting except for a later re-release.
