We recently got in our Hot Wheels Premium Race Day sets so it’s now time for a review. The set features a few good cars and the overall theme of “Race Day” is communicated well by each of them.

  • Starting off we have the Porsche 935 in a Purple and White KW Suspensions livery. The car has a purple flake paint that looks awesome! It also features Porsche branding on the top of the windshield, spoiler, and also the Porsche crest on the front. This car is number 23 as reflected by the decals on the sides and hood. Lastly, a BBS wheels logo is visible on the rear quarter panel of the car. This Porsche also comes with white plastic wheels and rubber tires. There is minimal detailing as far as front and rear lighting. There are lots of Porsche fans so expect this car to be one of the hardest to find out of the bunch.
  • Next up we have the Aston Martin Vantage GTE. This car features an all over high-vis yellow paintjob. The base of the car has been done in a way that the rear of the vehicle looks like it has a diffuser which is an interesting touch. The car feature Aston Martin Racing (AMR) decals across the entire vehicle including the side of the spoiler, top of the roof, rear, hood, and windshield. This car is number 95 represented by its decals on the sides and hood. The Aston also features headlight and taillight detailing. The black rims on this car look much better than some of the plastic ones we have seen on some premiums. This car is potentially the most detailed in the set but for some reason has been sitting.
  • The third car in our set is the Audi R8 LMS. This car features the same great looking wheels that were on the Aston. It comes in a red, white, and blue camo paint scheme but there isn’t much for decals or branding on this car. An Audi R8 LMS logo on the front and Audi Sport #5 decals on the hood and doors are the only visible graphics. The car does however feature a white roll cage that contrasts well to the black interior. Front and rear lighting details also help this car keep the premium feel. The Audi is another car out of the set that will most likely be on pegs a little longer.
  • Fourth we have the Ford Capri Gr.5. It comes in an all over white paint but has an abundance of Ford branding. The Ford logo is shown sporadically throughout the vehicle. The wheels are a metal plastic hybrid that have a nice look to them.  The car does feature front and rear lighting details, but the taillights look less than impressive. This is car #1 as indicated by the decals on the hood and side. Ford fans seem to be gravitating towards this car as it isn’t staying on pegs as long.
  • Our fifth car in the set is the ’94 AMG-Mercedes C-Class DTM Touring Car. This car features an all over yellow paint and black plastic rims. It features Agip, an Italian oil and gas company, decals on the hood and doors. This is car #5 as indicated by the Mercedes-Benz decals on the sides and hood as well as the giant decal on the roof. The grey roll cage also contrasts to the black interior and yellow exterior. My least favorite part of this car is the yellow spoiler on the back which has been done in a yellow plastic as opposed to being metal and matching the body color of the car. The lighting details on this car are much better than some of the others and give the car a more realistic look as long as you ignore the spoiler. The exhaust sticker on the back is also a decent addition. Even with the questionable plastic spoiler, fans are still grabbing this car off the shelves so expect it to be a slightly harder find.
  • Our last car for the set is the one everyone will be looking for, the Porsche 935 chase. This car will come in an all black paintjob with black rims. Contrary to the other cars in this set, this has no real racing decals but does feature Porsche branding and a large number 75 on the doors in honor of Porsche’s 75th anniversary. The car looks clean in black and gold trim and will be the hardest car to find out of the group.
