A precision-crafted tribute to a classic supercar

Experience the iconic 1996 Dodge Viper GTS in blue, reimagined as a compact 1:64 scale die-cast model. This Hot Wheels piece combines a glossy blue finish with crisp, authentic detailing to evoke the original’s bold presence in a collectible-friendly size. The model emphasizes tactile metal construction and subtle design cues that resonate with both casual fans and dedicated collectors.

As part of the Then & Now collection, this car carries a rare aura: it is numbered 176 out of 250 and sits as item 4 of 10 within the Then & Now subseries. That limited edition touch adds a sense of prestige to display shelves, desks, or dedicated display cases, while the compact footprint keeps it easily accessible for daily admiration.

The die-cast metal build offers a sturdy, satisfying heft that contrasts with its small scale, giving a tangible sense of quality when handled or rearranged in a display. The model ships in a protective collector’s box, with packaging dimensions around 7 by 5 by 3 inches, making it convenient for gifting or careful storage between viewing sessions.

For younger fans and seasoned collectors alike, this piece strikes a balance between play and display. It is designed for ages 3 and up, but includes small parts that call for adult supervision for younger children. The combination of durability, detailed aesthetics, and limited-edition appeal makes this Viper a versatile addition to any collection lineup.
