Hot Wheels has officially opened pre-orders for a new Porsche 959 diecast model, a product selected entirely by members of its Red Line Club. Active club members can purchase an unlimited quantity of the collectible, which features a specific purple finish chosen by the fan community.
Why it matters
This release follows a member-driven Selections process, allowing collectors to directly influence the production schedule and design specifications of high-end diecast releases. The community-led model aims to prioritize collector demand for specific vehicle castings over standard retail production.
The model carries part number JLX18 and is priced at $28 per unit before shipping and tax. It features Real Riders BB wheels with distinct gold-painted hubs.
The players
Hot Wheels
A division of Mattel known for its long history of producing miniature diecast cars and high-end collector series.
Red Line Club
A membership-based collector community that provides exclusive access to premium models and participates in product selection voting.
Brendon Vetuskey
A designer for Hot Wheels responsible for the development of the Porsche 959 casting used in this release.
The details
The production process utilized a two-stage voting system where members first selected the vehicle casting and later chose the Spectraflame purple paint finish. This specific casting was originally designed by Brendon Vetuskey in 2023. The final model is assembled with specific wheel components and finishes that were determined by the collective preferences of the club membership.

Active Red Line Club members should ensure their account credentials are up to date before the order window closes on October 6. Collectors should verify their shipping address in the portal, as this pre-order includes unlimited quantity options.
The takeaway
The Porsche 959 diecast reflects the growing influence of collector communities in shaping limited production runs. Members should place their orders by October 6 to secure the JLX18 model before the pre-order period ends.
