by New Hot Wheels Set with Three Iconic Hondas
For Honda fans who love collectible models, a special treat is being prepared. This summer, a new Hot Wheels set will appear, including three legendary sports cars from the Japanese brand. All of them are finished in the unique Championship White color. The set will cost approximately $30, but it can already be pre-ordered for $64.99.
The most notable model in the collection is the 2003 Honda NSX-R. This version was only available in Japan and was notable for numerous refinements to improve performance. The car received carbon panels, was rid of unnecessary parts such as the power steering, and was equipped with lightweight Recaro seats made of carbon and Kevlar. Although Honda claimed 290 hp, the actual power of the 3.2L V6 engine was higher.

Other Models in the Set
In addition to the NSX-R, the set includes a 1999 Honda Civic Type R (EK9) with a 1.6-liter engine producing 182 hp. A special 20th-anniversary version of the S2000 is also featured, which was initially a prototype but later Honda offered updated components for owners.
This set is a great opportunity to get three Honda icons in one collection at once. A branded truck with the brand’s logo is also included, making the set even more valuable for collectors.
For many Honda car enthusiasts, these models are not just toys, but a symbol of an entire era in the automotive industry. The NSX, Civic Type R, and S2000 remain examples of engineering excellence, and their Hot Wheels releases allow a piece of this history to be brought home. It is especially interesting that all the cars are finished in Honda’s classic racing color, which emphasizes their sporting heritage.
