Hot Wheels Audi R8 LMS — Casting Info & Complete Collector’s Guide

Nine documented 1:64 releases · 2018–2026

The Hot Wheels Audi R8 LMS casting debuted in 2018 with Car Culture: Eurospeed. Across nine documented releases, the same race-car shape moves through premium Car Culture, Hot Wheels id, an Audi two-pack, the 2026 Audi Series and two Brick Shop sets. Paint, race numbers, wheels and chassis details make the versions easier to tell apart than the Audi name alone.

FLC15 and FYN64 are both white Car Culture cars, but their numbers and striping differ. FXB39 and HBF98 use the modified id casting and plastic chassis. The two 2026 Brick Shop records identify the included 1:64 metal cars; the sets’ much larger buildable models are separate pieces.

Loose 2018 Hot Wheels Audi R8 LMS FLC15 white · loose casting
Official Identification

One R8 LMS casting family, with nine release codes and distinct package contexts.

Official Identification: Audi R8 LMS

FLC15 is the 2018 Car Culture: Eurospeed debut. Later records use FYN64, FXB39, HBF98, HKC61, JDY82, JGK29, JKY16 and JNT84. JGK29 and JNT84 are the small 1:64 metal cars included in Brick Shop sets JFT18 and JNM81; they are separate from the sets’ larger construction models.

The Hot Wheels id versions FXB39 and HBF98 use a modified R8 LMS casting with track-compatible front-end and sideplate changes. Check those details along with chassis material and wheel style when comparing them with the metal-base Car Culture versions.

Variation Summary

Compare paint, race numbers, wheels, chassis and release packaging.

Variation Summary

The white premium releases are easy to confuse until the graphics are checked: FLC15 carries number 10 and black-gray striping, while FYN64 carries number 1 with red-silver striping and Audi Sport lettering. FXB39 also has number 1, but its Spectraflame black finish and translucent red id chassis set it apart.

HBF98 is the silver number 5 id car; JKY16 is a later silver Audi Series release with red-chrome E0 wheels. HKC61 is the blue Race Day number 05 car. JDY82 is gray and identified by its Audi two-pack code. JGK29 and JNT84 are the number 39 and number 22 minis included in different Brick Shop sets.

Physical Details

Wheel and chassis changes separate the premium cars from the id and Audi Series issues.

Physical Details

FLC15 and FYN64 use red metal bases and Real Riders; the later Race Day HKC61 and Audi-pack JDY82 use black metal bases. FXB39 and HBF98 have translucent plastic id chassis. JKY16 has a black plastic chassis with red-chrome E0 wheels. The Brick Shop miniatures are the matching metal 1:64 cars supplied with their sets.

Use these construction clues with paint and tampo placement. Wheels can be changed after purchase, so they should support identification rather than replace the release code or package evidence.

Packaging Details

Several releases are identified by a set or multi-car package code.

Packaging Details

FLC15 and FYN64 are Car Culture single-car releases. FXB39 belongs to the Nightburnerz Hot Wheels id assortment and was a Target exclusive; HBF98 belongs to World Race. JDY82 is from an Audi Car Culture two-pack. JGK29 is included with Brick Shop set JFT18, and JNT84 with the Deluxe Version set JNM81.

Casting History

Casting History

The 2018 FLC15 opened the R8 LMS family in Car Culture. FYN64 followed as a white Open Track version; the later FXB39 and HBF98 id editions changed the casting for digital track play. Hot Wheels returned to metal-base premium releases with HKC61 and JDY82, then added the Audi Series JKY16 and Brick Shop set cars JGK29 and JNT84 in 2026.

The original 1:64 die-cast and the larger Brick Shop builds belong in separate records. JFT18 and JNM81 each supply a matching metal miniature alongside a buildable model.

Physical condition

Physical condition

Check front and rear details, body edges, wing supports, glass, wheel faces and base condition. On racing liveries, inspect the number and small Audi or Hot Wheels logos for rubs. With FXB39 or HBF98, examine the translucent chassis and id wheels for cracks or damage.

For JDY82 and the Brick Shop inclusions, verify package identity and all set contents before comparing sales. A loose car, a sealed set and a built construction model are different condition and completeness categories.

Value Research

Compare the exact R8 LMS release code, year, series and package before using a sale as a match. This family includes premium Car Culture cars, modified Hot Wheels id models, a two-pack release, Audi Series cars and 1:64 minis included with Brick Shop sets. Those package contexts and constructions are not interchangeable.

For Brick Shop inclusions, compare the miniature only with the same set code and contents. Assess the car separately from card, two-pack or complete-set condition. No unsupported price range is assigned here.

Collector FAQs

Collector FAQs

How many 1:64 releases are documented here?

Nine: FLC15, FYN64, FXB39, HBF98, HKC61, JDY82, JGK29, JKY16 and JNT84.

Are JGK29 and JNT84 the Brick Shop buildable cars?

No. They are the matching 1:64 metal cars included in the JFT18 and JNM81 sets. The larger buildable Audi models are separate items.

Are FXB39 and HBF98 the same tooling as the Car Culture cars?

The Hot Wheels id records use a modified version of the casting with track-oriented front-end and sideplate details. Their chassis and wheels also differ from the metal-base Car Culture releases.
