Physical Details
The orange finish has broad white upper stripes and white lower-side decoration, with silver-faced MC5 wheels. The striped roof and different wheel faces separate it from the yellow 2010 recolor. Look for abrasions across the roof print when comparing loose specimens.

Packaging Details
Package evidence must follow the specific release. A body color, toy number or casting name can occur with more than one regional card. A loose reference does not establish its original card, and the copyright year on the package is not automatically the assortment release year.
The assortment is identified in the release facts above, but this page currently shows the car loose. A complete front-and-reverse package photograph is still needed to authenticate regional card numbers, barcode and factory seal. When buying a packaged specimen, compare its actual wheel faces and decoration with the loose reference before treating it as the same release.
Variation Summary
Choosing one for your collection
Examine the white stripes around the hood ridges and lower doors. A straight side view makes worn wheel printing easier to spot than a top-down photo.
The reference shows one side. Ask for the other side and the underside when condition, base details or wheel originality matter.
Collector questions
Is this the yellow debut color?
No. The orange 2013 release has broad white stripes and MC5 wheels. The yellow debut is largely unstriped and uses open five-spoke wheels.

Evidence and Research Scope
Reference photographs and visible decoration were compared for this guide. The retained Hot Wheels Newsletter catalog supplies the release comparison and wheel terminology. The gray 2010 New Models front-and-reverse package photographs support the package numbers shown here. Photo and packaging observations apply to those reference specimens, not every manufactured example.

Market evidence: the stored record has no completed-sale comparisons. No price range, rarity score or market trend is supplied. Identification can be useful without a valuation; a supported valuation requires matched sales with known condition, packaging, currency and sale date.
