What do you get when you mix nostalgia, a dash of exclusivity, and a collector frenzy? The Hot Wheels RLC Exclusive sELECTIONs Nissan Skyline GT-R (BNR34).
Cloaked in Spectraflame oxblood with a full-metal matte black chassis, this 1:64 scale gem is a love letter to the iconic Skyline, a car that gave gearheads endless daydreams. Complete with an opening hood, Real Riders wheels, and enough NISMO logos to make a JDM fan weep, this is more than just a die-cast—it’s a slice of automotive history.
With Nissan’s current financial struggles casting a shadow over its storied past, this Hot Wheels release feels bittersweet. It’s a reminder of the glory days when the Skyline reigned supreme, whether in video games, movies, or actual streets. Let’s hope the real brand finds a way to steer itself back on track because losing such a legend would be a tragedy worthy of its cinematic montage.
Priced at US$25, this limited-edition Skyline hits the virtual shelves on December 5, 2024, at 9:00 a.m. PT. With no limits during the sale window (thank you for that, Mattel!), you’ve got two weeks to secure a piece of Nissan’s heritage—delivered in a clamshell case that’s almost as stylish as the car itself. Get it now, because you can’t drift through life without one.
