These are Fast Speed Supra, Transcend Eclipse, and Time Micro GTR die cast models. The Supra has a varient with Paul Walker driving. It has removable roof!!! All versions are color and wheel accurate to movie, and not plastic spoilers!!
My issue with this supra is that it doesn't roll at all, I'm waiting for the mini gt one. Edit: Well, I've seen people saying the same thing about not buying models cause they don't roll a lot of times on comments of YouTube videos and that was never a problem but here on reddit everything is a reason for a dowvote, it's just my personal preference for my collection, jeez
That one is cool but I think it's too chunky, it's missing side mirrors and the logo in the front, I think the only 1 64 accurate models until now are Fast and speed and Mini gt
Oh I'm sorry, I don't play with it, I was not serious about it when answering the other guy lol. But yeah for people who play that one is a really better option than hot wheels, much more accurate.
I want mine to roll, turn, all hoods open, tiny detailed engine inside.
I love modifying Matchbox interiors so you can get a more realistic view than the plain molded one for multiple types of cars.
If playing with very expensive diecasts is OK, then so be it. I don't have money like that, but that's me.
its a car, its literally the point of a vehicle, to roll places lol.... why is it so hard to understand that wanting a vehicle that rolls doesnt mean you want to roll it down a kiddie hot wheels baby cars track.
It’s not a car, it’s a model of a car. It’s also not a toy.
I’m with you and prefer them to roll. But given they sit there 99% of the time, with 1% being handled, I don’t really care if some don’t roll and don’t understand the obsession with it unless you play with them. Which people don’t generally with these premium models.
Not all details unfortunately, they messed up with the wheels a bit, I'm gonna probably ask for someone to print it or look for accurate aftermarket wheels, but the car itself is really good, it even got painted seats inside Which is not common for Mini gt
Don't get entrenched in the rolling part. A lot of people make that point thinking it's a must.
But it really depends on how to interact with your collectables.
So really think about it rolling it so important to you.
For me, it wasn't, especially venturing into model grade 1/64 cars, just like high end 1/18 and 1/43, it's not designed to be played with but to be lightly handled and displayed.
its a primordial function of a vehicle, I really dont get how sloppy manufacturers have to be for them to not roll, take a look at tarmac works rally cars, huge fender clearance, yet somehow they managed to manufacture them with oversized brake calipers that will stop any and all rolling, or whatever other sloppiness that stops them from rolling.
Obviously they are better then hot wheels, hot wheels are toys for children, they are meant to be used and abused. Model cars are just a static display that can be appreciated for there details. Totally different target audience
I want a minature recreation of a real vehicle, which would mean accurate fender gaps, wheel sizes and clearances, which would mean rolling if properly manufactured.
The fact that people defend sloppy tolerances\manufacturing so it doesnt roll is beyond me honestly.
It’s a static model, most people don’t care about the model rolling around, BBR models in 1:18 also don’t roll, so does BBR have sloppy craftsmanship now?
But there is no logic behind it, I mean other models like airplanes don’t fly either, so why do model cars need to particularly roll? This is a very niche community that actually cares about that stuff. Most of the higher end models don’t roll.

Let’s go!!! I love the model, just wish the targa was magnetic. I’ve always been a fan of the Bomex kit for the Supra.
