The Hot Wheels Eroded Safari, catalog number HPJ31, is a collectible model released as part of the Mattel Creations Collaboratory series in collaboration with Daniel Arsham. This 1:64 scale reproduction is aimed at adult collectors—fans of Porsche and art objects alike—and is one of the most unusual models ever released by the brand. It is less of a toy car and more of a miniature sculpture.
The Eroded Safari casting was co-designed by Ethan Wood and Daniel Arsham, debuting in this very series in 2024. The casting depicts an off-road version of the Porsche 911 in a state of "erosion": the body is covered in sculpted, crystallized voids, stylized after the artist's signature work. The base of the casting is labeled "Eroded Porsche Safari." The model is finished in Arsham grey—the artist's signature color—with colorful accents within the eroded areas. The base is raw ZAMAC (unpainted zinc alloy), and the windows are finished in the same grey tone as the body, giving the model a uniform, sculptural form without a detailed interior. It rolls on RRPrf wheels, which are Real Riders with rubber tires. It is manufactured in China.
The model was created in collaboration with Daniel Arsham, an American contemporary artist who works in a style he calls "fictional archaeology." His most recognizable works depict modern objects—telephones, cameras, cars—as corroded, excavated artifacts from the distant future, with exposed crystalline inclusions. Here, this visual language has been transferred directly onto a Hot Wheels casting, making the HPJ31 the first such literal translation of the artist's sculpture into a miniature.
The starting point is the Porsche 911 in an off-road specification, referencing the "Safari" tradition. The name comes from Porsche's participation in the African Safari Rally in the 1970s, where the 911 competed with raised suspension, reinforced bodywork, and underbody protection. These races proved that a rear-engined sports car with an air-cooled boxer engine could survive one of the toughest rallies in the world, giving rise to an entire trend of 911 off-road conversions that remains extremely popular among collectors.
For a collector, the HPJ31 is in a different category than typical Hot Wheels releases. The sculptural nature of the casting, the raw ZAMAC base, the signature of a renowned artist, and the very limited distribution through Mattel Creations make this model function more as a collector's item than a toy car, and it commands significant prices on the secondary market.
