Perhaps the artistic touches of the Daniel Arsham x Hot Wheels collection were not everyone’s cuppa. I mean, not everyone’s into “corroding” die-cast models, right? Fret not, because the artist is back with another die-cast collectible that is, well, more “normal.” Folks, meet the new Hot Wheels x Daniel Arsham 1973 Porsche 911 RSA.
After eight collaborations that looked like they were unearthed from an archeological dig, Arsham has finally given us a Porsche that looks road-ready instead of museum-exhibit-ready. The 911 Carrera RS is often considered the ultimate 911, and this 1:64-scale recreation does the legend proud. The color, deco, and pinstriping channel pure 1970s energy, complete with a molded version of the real car’s wide-wale corduroy upholstery and the “RSA” headrest stitching.
This one trades in cracked surfaces for clean lines and a shimmering yellow ZAMAC body, sitting on a full-metal silver-plated chassis with Real Riders 5-spoke wheels. Inside, it’s finished in black with brown molded seat details, all visible through clear windows. It even comes packaged in an acrylic display case sitting atop a simulated concrete plinth—because if it’s Daniel Arsham, it still has to look like art.
So yes, you can finally own an Arsham Porsche that doesn’t look like it’s been through the apocalypse.
The Hot Wheels x Daniel Arsham 1973 Porsche 911 RSA is available now for US$75.
