Official Identification: Hot Wheels ’16 Cadillac ATS-V R
The ’16 Cadillac ATS-V R is Hot Wheels’ 1:64 casting of Cadillac’s ATS-V.R GT3 race car. It debuted in 2018 in Legends of Speed and is credited to Ryu Asada. The casting name remains the same across issues; toy number, release series, race number, decoration and wheels identify each version.
The family includes ten records from 2018 through 2026. Early Legends of Speed releases use number 1, the Race Day pair uses number 4, the 2022 burgundy and black cars use number 2 and number 1 respectively, and later schemes change to number 16 and number 3.
Variation SummaryTen connected records spanning mainline, premium and themed releases.
Variation Summary
This Cadillac is all race car: a broad front opening, flared sides and a rear wing that rises well above the trunk. The side number makes a useful first sorting point. Early cars wear 1, the white and blue Race Day pair wear 4, burgundy cars wear 2, and the later Nightspeed pair switch to 3. The unusual black releases are also distinct: FJV57’s gray Y5 wheels, HNV32’s Real Riders and metal base, and HRW82’s neon number 16 and CNS6 wheels mark separate entries. Follow the linked table to the exact record.
| Release guide | Series / issue | How to identify it |
|---|---|---|
| 2018 FJV57 | Legends of Speed 7/10 | The black debut wears number 1 over yellow, red and blue side stripes. Gray Y5 wheels keep the car dark, with the broad wing and exposed wheel arches doing much of the visual work. |
| 2018 FJY11 | Legends of Speed 7/10 | Red bodywork carries the same number 1 theme as the black debut. Yellow, red and blue stripes remain visible along the sides, while bright Y5 wheels change the lower half’s contrast. |
| 2019 FYD20 | HW Race Day 2/10 | White paint makes the blue and red side graphics stand out. Number 4 replaces the debut’s number 1, and red-rimmed black PR5 wheels echo the red cabin. |
| 2019 FYG59 | HW Race Day 2/10 — Kroger | Blue bodywork, gold wheel rims and gold accents give the number 4 scheme a warmer look than the white car. The red interior remains visible through clear glazing. |
| 2022 HCW49 | HW Turbo 3/10 | Burgundy metallic paint carries black, gray and silver striping around number 2. Gray ten-spoke wheels give it a different stance from the earlier Y5 and PR5 releases. |
| 2022 HNV32 | NFT Garage Series 3 | Spectraflame black paint surrounds a busy number 1 racing scheme with yellow, red, blue and silver details. Ten-spoke Real Riders and the special presentation card set it apart from the debut mainline. |
| 2024 HRW82 | Neon Speeders 8/8 | Neon orange and pink accents surround number 16 on this black Cadillac. The bright striping runs over the roof and sides, with ATS lettering across the windshield. |
| 2024 HRY18 | MEGA Showcase Hot Wheels | The MEGA companion shares the burgundy number 2 body and gray ten-spoke wheels of HCW49. The photo illustrates that shared loose-car appearance; the building set is not pictured. |
| 2026 JJJ52 | Nightspeed 7/10 | Orange paint carries number 3 with GT3 and Cadillac lettering along the sides. Yellow, black, white and red accents build a new scheme around the familiar wide body. |
| 2026 JJL36 | Nightspeed 7/10 | The pale metallic gunmetal-blue body can look silver in a bright photograph. Black PR5 wheels and blue, black, white and red stripes keep the number 3 scheme distinct from the orange car. |
Physical DetailsThe race body shape is shared; number, graphics and wheels separate the versions.
Physical Details

Packaging Details
Legends of Speed and Race Day are standard carded releases; later versions appear in Turbo, NFT Garage, Neon Speeders and Nightspeed. HRY18 is cataloged as the Cadillac in a MEGA Showcase Hot Wheels building set. Its loose burgundy car visually matches HCW49, so the set package is essential release evidence.
Use card art, series marks and toy number as secondary references. The loose casting remains the primary image and identification subject of this guide.

Condition & Value
Condition and Value
Check the front splitter, wing supports and flared wheel arches for damage. Look at the windshield for ATS lettering on HRW82; compare the wide wheel treatment on FJV57 and the Real Riders on HNV32. The racing numbers and stripe layouts distinguish the later editions.
Compare completed sales for the same release code and series. Keep loose models, sealed packages and complete MEGA sets separate. No unsupported price range is assigned.
Collector FAQs
Collector Questions
Are FJV57 and HNV32 the same black version?
No. Their series, wheel construction, base and racing number differ. FJV57 is the Legends of Speed debut with gray Y5 wheels; HNV32 is the NFT Garage issue with Real Riders and a metal base.
Can a loose burgundy car distinguish HCW49 from HRY18?
Not reliably from the shared car appearance shown here. Check the toy code and original package or MEGA set context.
What does the ’16 in the casting name mean?
It is part of the Hot Wheels casting name. Individual toy releases run from 2018 onward; use the release year and toy code.
