Hot Wheels RLC 1997 Toyota Supra blue #2

The Hot Wheels 1997 Toyota Supra, catalog number HWF07, is a collector’s model released as an RLC Exclusive, available only through the Red Line Club. This 1:64 scale reproduction is aimed at adult collectors and fans of Japanese automotive culture; what sets it apart from a standard toy car is its metal base, rubber tires, Spectraflame paint, and two moving parts: an opening hood and a removable metal targa roof.

The 1997 Toyota Supra casting was designed by Brendon Vetuskey, and the HWF07 is its debut release for 2024. The casting features an opening hood and a fully removable metal targa roof panel. The model is finished in Spectraflame race team blue, a translucent, intense blue applied directly over polished metal, reserved for the brand's most exclusive releases. Details include refined headlights, taillights, and trim, "TOYOTA" lettering with the brand emblem on the rear, and a white Hot Wheels license plate reading "UNICRN." The base is black and metal, the windows have a light tint, and the interior is black. The model rolls on gold RR6SPM wheels, which are six-spoke Real Riders with rubber tires. It is manufactured in China.

The inspiration for the model is the fourth-generation Toyota Supra, known as the A80 or MK4. The body was designed by Isao Tsuzuki, and its construction was largely based on the Soarer model. It was powered by a 3.0-liter, inline-six 2JZ engine, available in naturally aspirated and twin-turbocharged variants, delivering power to the rear axle. The model name comes from the Latin word "supra," meaning "above." For this generation, Toyota took a much more serious approach to performance, and the exceptional durability of the 2JZ block made the A80 one of the most popular tuning bases in the world. Since production ended in 2002, the Supra MK4 has attained a cult status.

For collectors, the HWF07 holds special status as it is the first-ever release of this casting—finished in a striking blue Spectraflame paint with gold wheels. The opening hood and removable targa roof place it among the most well-crafted Hot Wheels models, and Red Line Club releases are not available in standard retail.
