Hot Wheels Elite 64 Porsche 928 Safari Launching April 25

Set your clocks, Hot Wheels and off-road racing enthusiasts! Hot Wheels is set to launch a remarkable new addition to their prestigious Elite 64 collection - the Porsche 928 Safari. This isn't just any model; it’s a meticulously detailed representation of the legendary Porsche 928, lifted and modified, ready to take on the rugged trails and the sandy dunes in 1:64 scale. This awesome new Hot Wheels Collectors edition drops on April 25 at 9am PT / 12pm EST.

Design and Aesthetics
Starting with the body, the Porsche 928 Safari shines in a vibrant orange hue that not only screams adventure but also sets it apart on any display shelf. The use of ZAMAC (zinc, aluminum, magnesium, and copper) for the body enhances durability while adding a touch of premium feel to the model. A matte black, full-metal chassis forms the base, providing robust support and stability to the detailed upper components.

This model is far from ordinary, echoing the modifications of a true off-road racer. It boasts skid plates that promise protection from rough terrains and brush bars that shield the front and sides during wild, adventurous rides. A custom-fabricated rear deck adds a unique touch, enhancing the silhouette of the racer. But it’s the hood and brush-bar-mounted rally lights that truly define its purpose; designed to pierce through the darkest nights and thickest fogs on any rally course.

Wheels and Windows
The custom Real Riders on the Porsche 928 Safari are not only about style but also about performance. These wheels are styled like their real life counterparts that handle the chaos of off-roading while maintaining that classic aesthetic appeal that Hot Wheels collectors admire. Light smoke-tinted windows complement the tough exterior while offering a glimpse into the detailed black interior, rounding out the model’s aggressive yet stylish look.

Packaging
Each Porsche 928 Safari will come packaged on an illustrated blister card, showcased within a Kar Keepers clamshell case to ensure it remains in mint condition whether displayed or stored.

Why It Deserves a Spot in Your Collection
The Elite 64 Porsche 928 Safari model is more than just a collector's item; it's a piece of rallying history, a homage to the rugged spirit of off-road racing. Its detailed craftsmanship and the authenticity in the replication of the modified Porsche 928 make it a standout piece. This model is tailored for those who cherish precision, relish in nostalgia, and thrive on the thrill of rally racing lore.
