Hot Wheels 1987 Audi quattro — Casting Info & Complete Collector’s Guide

Casting identity

Hot Wheels catalogs identify the model as the ’87 Audi Quattro. For catalog matching, the key identifiers are the model name, year, toy code and series placement. The release records below keep separate color and series entries together rather than treating every quattro as the same car.

About the ’87 Audi quattro casting

The ’87 name points to the road-going Audi quattro, a turbocharged five-cylinder coupe with permanent all-wheel drive. Hot Wheels designer Fraser Campbell’s 1:64 casting debuted in 2024. Its upright cabin, squared wheel arches and compact two-door shape make it easy to distinguish from the shorter-wheelbase ’84 Audi Sport quattro and the separate Audi 90 quattro casting.

Physical details

Compare the nose, window line, squared fenders, rear spoiler and side graphics. The same body casting appears in each release, while finish and wheels change. HRY55 and HTD24 use standard 10-spoke wheels; HYW72 keeps standard wheels in the brighter aqua finish. JBC35 adds Spectraflame paint and Real Riders, while 2026 JKX61 moves to 5-spoke wheels.

For the 2025 pair, check the underside code and the wheels along with the color. JBC35 is the Super Treasure Hunt with Real Riders; HYW72 is the standard Factory Fresh release. Similar aqua paint by itself does not make a car a Super Treasure Hunt.

Release comparison

Collector notes

Collector casting references credit Fraser Campbell. The model debuted in the 2024 HW Turbo series.

Which releases were made in Malaysia?

The 2024 HRY55 and HTD24, plus 2025 HYW72 and JBC35, are cataloged as made in Malaysia. JKX61 is cataloged as made in Indonesia.

Value Research

There is no useful single price for every ’87 Audi quattro release. Compare completed sales for the exact toy code and version, and keep loose and carded examples separate. Packaging condition, paint and tampo wear, wheel condition, and a clean, undamaged blister can all change the comparison.

For this family, distinguish the standard releases HRY55, HTD24, HYW72 and JKX61 from JBC35, the 2025 Super Treasure Hunt. Before recording a comparison, confirm the code on the base or package and match the series and wheel type. Asking prices alone do not establish market value.
