Hot Wheels launches limited-edition Lunar New Year Silver Series diecast for APAC based on Porsche 935

Ahead of this year’s Chinese New Year celebration, Mattel has launched a new limited-edition Hot Wheels Silver Series diecast model. Exclusive to Asia Pacific markets, the 1:64-scale collector’s release was created in collaboration with Porsche with artwork by Anton Henggono.

The car chosen for the base is the reborn 935, which is a 991-generation 911 GT2 RS with bodywork to resemble the classic race car from the 1970s. It features a striking deep red base with gold accents, white-and-gold galloping horse iconography as well as and expressive calligraphic strokes inspired by traditional Lunar New Year motifs. You’ll also find ‘2026’ on the large rear wing.

Accompanying the diecast is a specially designed blister card with artwork featuring fireworks, glowing lanterns, a pagoda skyline and iconic red-and-gold detailing to stay in line with the festive theme.

“This release celebrates Hot Wheels’ continued collaboration with the car culture community and Porsche, reimagining a legendary performance silhouette through a cultural and celebratory lens, making it a true collector’s piece built for celebration, culture and speed,” read the release.

The Hot Wheels Lunar New Year Silver Series diecast is now available at selected toy specialty and department stores, convenience stores and petrol marts nationwide.
