Hot Wheels ’09 Corvette Stingray Concept — Casting Info & Complete Collector’s Guide
The Stingray Concept has a low canopy, pronounced front fenders and a sharp crease along each door. Plain debut colors show off that shape; later versions add whitewalls, racing stripes and the loud Stunt Team decoration.

The casting entered the 2010 New Models range in gray, yellow and pale metallic blue. Garage versions followed in 2011, alongside a red Faster Than Ever release with two wheel designs. Boulevard, Corvette 60th and International Mystery Models brought further changes to the stripes, glazing and wheels.
Physical Details
The deeply creased sides, low roof canopy and pointed nose identify the concept shape. Use the pictured release gallery to compare decoration and wheel faces; the production Corvette Stingray is covered by separate casting records.

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 gray R0936 package example shows 2010 New Models, segment number 19/44 and collector number 019/240. Its reverse shows R0936-0010B, assortment L2593 and UPC 027084797480. These codes describe this photographed package. HW Premiere cards use a different numbering system; check the series text and number on the card being bought.
Variation Summary
Each photo links to the release it shows.
Choosing one for your collection
For a red car, start with the stripes and wheels. White side accents point toward the Faster Than Ever pair; black stripes over the top point toward Boulevard. For black cars, compare the glazing and decoration before looking at the toy code.
The twelve pictures cover distinct editions and the two FTE wheel designs, not every reported variation. Three sparse 2010 records still need their identities resolved, and a reported rose-window Stunt Team version needs a separate photo.
Collector questions
Is this the same casting as the later production Corvette Stingray?
No. This guide covers the 2009 Stingray Concept casting. The low canopy and sculpted concept-car body are the starting point; a later production-model Stingray needs its own identification.

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.
Canonical family identity: model:df45d2fd-4f2a-44fe-b591-e2716838834a.
This is a casting-family index. Its twelve photographed guides document separate releases or wheel identities; the three sparse 2010 rows remain unresolved. Family photographs and release counts do not establish a market value for an individual specimen.
