The Hot Wheels Nissan GT-R NISMO GT3, product number HVJ34, is a 1:64 scale collectible car model from the Hot Wheels Premium line, released in 2024 as part of the Pop Culture: Gran Turismo series. This die-cast car is aimed at collectors of GT3 race cars, fans of the Nissan brand, and viewers of the Gran Turismo movie. The Nissan GT-R Nismo GT3 HVJ34 collectible model comes on a premium card with a protective blister. Collectors refer to it interchangeably as the GTR R35, GT-R NISMO GT3, or simply the GT3. The Nissan GT-R NISMO GT3 casting was designed for Mattel by Dmitriy Shakhmatov, and it debuted in this very series in 2024. The body is white, covered in rich racing livery. Details include refined taillights and trim, black stripes with red accents, a replicated fuel cap and air intakes, logos for PlayStation, GT Global Championship, Nissan, and NISMO, the number "23" on the sides, detailed diveplane aerodynamic fins, and a Gran Turismo banner on the top edge of the windshield. The base of the car is metal and painted black, the windows have a heavy smoke tint, and the interior is finished in black. The model rides on CBRR6SPM wheels with rubber Real Riders tires. Production takes place in Indonesia. The model was created as part of a collaboration between Hot Wheels and the Gran Turismo movie and replicates the specific race car driven in the film by Jann Mardenborough, played by Archie Madekwe. Mardenborough himself appeared in the production and worked as a stunt driver for the actor. The body with serial number GTR-8A01 was originally purchased by the RJN Motorsports team in 2014 and used in competition until 2020, when it was acquired by Darren Cox; in 2023, the car was sold at a Silverstone Auctions event. The entire release is available exclusively in the limited premium Pop Culture line. The original is the Nissan GT-R NISMO GT3 – a GT-class race car built by NISMO, Nissan's motorsport division, in collaboration with the British team JR Motorsports. The car was created in response to the upcoming retirement of the Nissan GT-R GT1 model. It is powered by a racing version of the 3.8-liter twin-turbocharged V6 engine, designated with the code VR38DETT, similar to the unit in the road-legal version. In 2018, the car underwent a technical update to improve performance – the engine was moved rearward and lowered, and other changes improved weight distribution. The model has competed in many teams and GT championships, achieving 84 victories as of 2024. Which movie is the Hot Wheels Nissan GT-R Nismo GT3 HVJ34 from?
