Casting Info: ’16 Mercedes-AMG GT3
The ’16 Mercedes-AMG GT3 debuted as a 2018 Hot Wheels New Model in Legends of Speed. The casting was designed by Dmitriy Shakhmatov. Later appearances changed the finish, racing graphics, wheels and chassis, while the Hot Wheels id version is cataloged with longer side mirrors.
The model represents the Mercedes-AMG GT3 race car. The “’16” is part of the Hot Wheels casting name; it does not mean that every toy release dates from 2016. Use the release year and toy number shown in each variation guide.
Variation SummaryThe color and wheel combinations that separate the documented releases.

Packaging DetailsMainline, premium and multi-piece packages need different checks.
Packaging Details
The collection spans standard mainline cards, Car Culture premium cards, Hot Wheels id, a Mercedes-Benz Collector Set, Neon Speeders and themed multipacks. The 2022 HCR30 belongs to Team Transport set #48 and was paired with Fleet Street. The AMG alone does not establish that a complete transporter set is present.
For a sealed example, match the package series and toy number to the car inside. For a loose casting, use the color, tampos, wheels and base. Do not use the package of a related issue as proof of a loose car’s release.
Casting History
Casting History
The Hot Wheels ’16 Mercedes-AMG GT3 debuted in 2018 in Legends of Speed as a New Model. Later releases span mainline, Car Culture, Hot Wheels id, Team Transport, Neon Speeders and a themed multipack. Decoration, chassis, wheel type and—in the id issue—the revised mirror shape distinguish the casting’s versions.
The first two FJV46 records and the two FYD75 wheel records are useful examples of why a casting name or toy code alone may not settle an identification. Compare the wheel patterns and related base and interior details recorded on the individual pages.
Condition & Value
Condition and Value
Inspect the front splitter, rear wing, mirror tips, hood and roof graphics, side tampo and wheel faces. Premium metal-base castings and standard plastic-base versions are separate releases; loose, carded and set-complete examples should not be mixed in a comparison.
For value research, match the toy number, series and wheel configuration first, then compare condition and original packaging. This guide does not assign a price range without release-matched completed sales.
Collector FAQs
Collector Questions
Are both FJV46 versions the same?
They share the toy number and gray decoration, but the catalog records J5 and PR5 wheel configurations. Check both axles and the interior.
How do the two FYD75 cars differ?
The 2019 light-blue versions are recorded with PR5 and DD8 wheels. Compare the spoke pattern rather than relying on the finish alone.
Which release changed the casting?
The 2021 Hot Wheels id issue is cataloged as a modified casting with longer mirrors.
Does HCR30 include the transporter?
The HCR30 Team Transport issue was packaged with Fleet Street. A loose AMG by itself does not confirm that the transporter is included.
