Hot Wheels ’17 Acura NSX — Casting Info & Complete Collector’s Guide

This guide follows the Hot Wheels ’17 Acura NSX casting from its 2016 debut through its later mainline, themed-series, premium and multipack releases. Ryu Asada designed the casting. DHN99 is the release code on the first blue car; it is not a number shared by every version.

The ’17 Acura NSX casting

“’17 Acura NSX” is the Hot Wheels casting name, separate from the ’90 Acura NSX and ’12 Acura NSX Concept. DHN99 is the toy number for the 2016 blue debut; later releases carry their own codes, including DHX21, DTX56 and HJ051. Record the model name and exact release code separately.

The 21 linked release records run from the 2016 debut through 2025. The 2024 white car appears in two package releases: HTV49 is in the HW Motor Show 5-Pack, while HWD03 is in the Themed 2-Pack with an Aston Martin Vantage GTE. Their shared appearance makes the pack code important when recording the release. GMK78 is cataloged separately as a ’19 Acura NSX and is not included in this ’17 Acura NSX web. The remaining finishes range from pearlescent blue and dark red to yellow, ZAMAC, themed premium colors and later multipack editions. The series and assortment context help separate cars that look similar in a loose display.

How to identify a ’17 Acura NSX release

  1. Read the release code from the package or catalog record; do not use DHN99 as a substitute when the release has its own product code.
  2. Match the release year and series. A 2016 Then and Now car, 2017 Factory Fresh issue and 2025 multipack car are separate entries even though they share the casting.
  3. Compare body color and paint finish. DTX56 is the standard yellow 2017 issue; DVC86 is the Spectraflame Gold Super Treasure Hunt. In the 2019 HW Exotics set, FYC34 is dark blue and FYG35 is ZAMAC.
  4. For a loose example, record paint wear, tampo condition, wheels, axles, stance and base condition. For carded examples, record the packaging condition separately from the car.

Value Research

A useful comparison starts with the individual product code and release format, not just the model name. This family includes standard mainline, multipack, themed-series and premium issues; year, series, finish and packaging separate examples that can look alike in a display.

When reviewing a sale, match the release code and series, then compare loose or carded condition on the same basis. Record paint and tampo wear, wheels, axles and base; on packaged cars, note card and blister condition separately. This guide provides identification context rather than assigning a price range.

Condition and comparison notes

Silver and white finishes can lose their contrast in bright photography, and yellow can make the standard DTX56 look similar to the Spectraflame DVC86. Photograph the top, both sides, front, rear and base under even light. Keep the release code or original packaging with the photo set so the color is not the only identifier.

Match the release code and series, then check wheel type, finish and package details. This casting appears in several assortments.

Sources and collector references

Release codes, years and assortment names are cross-checked against the Hot Wheels Newsletter Digital Car Catalog and Hot Wheels/Mattel package or base markings where available. The separate HTV49 and HWD03 package records remain distinct even though their 2024 white cars look similar.
