Since 2016, the premium Car Culture series has delivered more than 200 amazing vehicles, from around the world and across the decades. With authentic decos, refined details, and full die-cast construction, these creations are avidly sought by collectors.
For 2023, the chase continues – figuratively and literally. Each of the eight mixes will include five castings as usual and will also feature a special sixth entry – a variation that will be harder to find than the others. To help with your hunt, we’re putting info on all the mixes in one spot for you.
Mix 1: Speed Machines
Forty years ago, we gave the name “Speed Machines” to an assortment of cars and brought it back in 2010. According to designer Steve “HWC Van” Vandervate, some of those cars became highly desired collectibles, which inspired the choices for this new mix. The Pagani Zonda R and the Porsche 911 GT3 appear here with a die-cast chassis for the first time. We also reinvented the “Co-Mold 6” wheels used on that 2010 assortment – they’ve been transformed into the new six-spoke “2-Piece Premium” wheels that appear on all these castings.
