Hot Wheels Aston Martin DB4GT High Speed Edition | Muscle Mania

Description

The Aston Martin DB4 GT is one of the most celebrated British sports racers of the late 1950s and early 1960s, introduced in September 1959 as a lighter, more focused competition version of the standard DB4. Built with a shortened wheelbase for sharper handling and clothed in thin gauge aluminum body panels for reduced weight, the DB4 GT was created specifically to challenge Ferrari’s dominance in GT racing at the time. At its heart was a twin spark, 3.7 litre straight six engine producing around 302 horsepower, making it the fastest road legal production car in the world when new, capable of reaching 60 mph in just 6.1 seconds.

Despite its race bred focus, the DB4 GT retained genuine Aston Martin road car luxury inside, featuring Connolly leather trim and Wilton wool carpeting, a level of comfort rarely found in a serious competition car of its era. Driven by legendary names including Stirling Moss, Jim Clark, and Roy Salvadori, the DB4 GT enjoyed strong success on the track through both the Aston Martin works team and privateer entries, and with only 75 examples built in its original form, it remains one of the rarest and most sought after classic Astons among collectors today.

Hot Wheels celebrates this classic British GT racer as part of its 2024 Muscle Mania series, numbered 5 of 5 and 219 of 250 in its production run. This casting is finished in a striking Silver ZAMAC finish, a metal alloy treatment that gives the model a distinctive, shiny metallic look while highlighting the DB4 GT’s smooth, flowing bodywork and long hood proportions at 1:64 scale.
