Hot Wheels Mazda RX-7


The IMSA Mazda is the closest I can think of a Matchbox casting that honours the original Firstgeneration (SA/FB) Wankel engined RX-7.

Yet again, Hot Wheels seem to have got another premo casting. Matchbox could have really done with something like this to freshen up the range.

What I like about this casting is the detailing and tampos. Not that bothered - for once - about the rear light detail but the "sponsoring" of the model does give it a good old skool feel about it - a far cry from the mad graphics that blight many a modern casting.

Not sure how difficult it would have been to make this casting the lights popped up - now that would have been summat special.....
