Hot Wheels PREMIUM Fast&Furious Mazda RX-7 FD

The Hot Wheels Mazda RX-7 FD, catalog number GJR65, is a 1:64 scale premium collectible model released as part of the 2020 Hot Wheels Fast & Furious: Fast Tuners series. This model is aimed at adult collectors, fans of Japanese automotive culture and Wankel engines, and enthusiasts of the Fast & Furious film saga.

The '95 Mazda RX-7 casting was designed by Jun Imai and debuted in 2017 as part of the "Then and Now" series; the casting replicates the third generation of the RX-7, designated FD3S. Item GJR65 opens the Fast & Furious: Fast Tuners series at position 1/5, and the packaging lists it as the Mazda RX-7 FD. The body is finished in Ultra Orange Pearl—an intense, pearlescent orange—with yellow decals on the sides and hood, as well as detailed front marker lights and taillights. The chassis is made of red-painted metal, the windows are tinted, and the interior is also red, creating a highly striking, uniform effect. The model rolls on RRE wheels with rubber Real Riders tires. The country of manufacture is Thailand. Among collectors, this orange edition is sometimes referred to by the nickname "Orange Julius."

The model belongs to the licensed Hot Wheels Fast & Furious line, created in collaboration with Universal Pictures. The Fast Tuners sub-series is dedicated to tuned Japanese cars, which built the automotive identity of the early films in the saga—and the Mazda RX-7 FD is one of its most recognizable stars.

The original vehicle is the third-generation Mazda RX-7 (FD3S), produced between 1991 and 2002. It is powered by a 1.3-liter 13B-REW twin-rotor Wankel engine equipped with a sequential twin-turbocharger system, producing between 255 and 280 hp depending on the model year, delivered to the rear axle. Its low weight, very low center of gravity, and near-perfect 50:50 weight distribution have earned the FD a reputation as one of the best-handling Japanese sports cars of all time.

The collectible value of this edition stems from its premium build quality featuring a metal chassis and rubber Real Riders tires, its Fast & Furious license, and its highly distinct orange-and-red color scheme, which makes this specific piece one of the most recognizable releases of the casting.
