Hot Wheels Subaru Impreza WRX, catalog number FYP66, is a collectible model from the Premium line, released as part of the Replica Entertainment: Gumball 3000 series. This 1:64 scale model is aimed at adult collectors and fans of Japanese rally cars, and it stands out from a standard die-cast car with its metal base, Real Riders rubber tires, and detailed graphics.
The Subaru Impreza WRX casting was designed by Mark Jones, and it debuted in 2017 in the Car Culture: Cars & Donuts series under the number DWH89. The casting depicts the four-door Impreza WRX from 2000–2002, known by fans as the “Bugeye” or “Frogeye” because of its distinctive headlights. The 2019 FYP66 version is finished in glossy black. The graphics include “Gumball 3000” lettering on the rear fenders and roof, the number “99,” and white-and-blue flames along the lower sides. The base is glossy black and made of metal, the windows are tinted, and the interior is black with a gray roll cage. The model rolls on gold RR10SP wheels, which are ten-spoke Real Riders with rubber tires—the contrast between the gold and black is its main visual feature. It was made in Thailand.
The model was created as part of Hot Wheels’ collaboration with Gumball 3000, an international public road rally organized since 1999 in which owners of the world’s most expensive and exotic cars participate. The Impreza is an unusual choice among them: instead of a supercar, it is a four-wheel-drive rally sedan, making this model one of the more interesting in the entire Replica Entertainment line.
The model is based on the GD-generation Subaru Impreza WRX, which was produced from 2000. It was powered by a two-liter turbocharged boxer engine that delivered power to all four wheels through a permanent all-wheel-drive system—the setup that built the brand’s reputation in the World Rally Championship. The “Bugeye” model year was the first after a major generational redesign and was controversial at the time precisely because of its round headlights; today, it is one of the most sought-after Impreza variants, and the silhouette of this generation is one of the symbols of Japanese automotive culture at the turn of the century.
For collectors, FYP66 is a valuable addition: Replica Entertainment is one of Hot Wheels’ more niche lines, produced in smaller quantities than standard Premium models, and the black-and-gold color scheme with the race number does not appear in any other version of this casting.
