The latest to join the Hot Wheels Red Line Club’s garage will surely tickle the fancy of both JDM and muscle car enthusiasts. First up is one of the icons of the Japanese Domestic Market, the 1993 Mazda RX-7 R1, which is available as we speak. Then, there’s the upcoming 2000 Ford Mustang SVT Cobra R.
Let’s start with the RX-7 R1, one of the icons of JDM, alongside the R32/33 Skyline GT-R, the Z32 300ZX, the W20 MR2, the JZA80 Supra, the Z15A/Z16 3000GT, and more. This car that is already a legend in full-size form with its 1.3-liter twin-turbo rotary engine good for 255 horsepower, and paired with a proper 5-speed manual. Hot Wheels shrinks all that attitude down to a 1:64 scale package dressed in Spectraflame steel-blue paint, a tan interior, and a detailed rotary engine hiding under an opening hood.
It rides on Real Riders 10-spoke wheels and sits on a full-metal matte-black chassis. The light smoke-tinted windows round up the go-fast look. It is a bummer that the headlights do not pop out. It will be really, really cool if it does. Anyhoo, it comes packaged on an illustrated blister card and tucked inside a Kar Keepers clamshell, ready for display or hoarding.
Over in the muscle-car department, the 2000 Ford Mustang SVT Cobra R is gearing up for its own moment. The real car famously ditched anything remotely comfortable in the name of speed. No A/C, no sound insulation, no rear seats.
Hot Wheels captures this seriousness in Spectraflame bright red with a molded-black interior and a V8 engine under an opening power-dome hood. Real Riders 5-spoke modern wheels keep it planted, or as planted as a 1:64 Mustang can be. It also arrives on an illustrated blister card inside a Kar Keepers clamshell.
Both models feature ZAMAC bodies, matte-black metal chassis, and all the tiny details collectors obsess over.
The RLC Exclusive Mazda RX-7 R1 and Mustang SVT Cobra R are priced at 28 USD each, with the former already available, and the latter set to drop on December 02, 2025, at 9 AM Pacific Time. Oh, right. You need to be an RLC member, which costs 9.99 USD a year, to purchase them.
