Hot Wheels Elite 64 ’21 Audi RS 7 Sportback Custom — Casting Info & Complete Collector’s Guide
The Hot Wheels Audi RS 7 Sportback casting debuted in Elite 64 as HGW11, a 1:64 model of the ’21 Audi RS 7 Sportback Custom. Its high-gloss Cool Gray body, open five-spoke wheels and detailed metal construction set it apart from the simpler mainline Audi castings.
The Elite 64 Audi RS 7 Sportback
HGW11 is the first and only documented Hot Wheels Audi RS 7 Sportback release. Mattel’s product name is “Hot Wheels Elite 64 ’21 Audi RS 7 Sportback Custom.” The casting uses a custom body treatment rather than representing a stock road-car trim.
Mattel announced the launch for December 19, 2023. The collector catalog files HGW11 under 2024, so both dates appear in records: the first is the announced launch date and the second is the catalog year.
How to identify HGW11
- Confirm the product code HGW11 and Elite 64 series marking.
- Look for high-gloss Cool Gray paint, authentic Audi badges and Euro-style plates.
- Check the gloss-black open five-spoke wheels and subtly cambered stance.
- Match the light-smoke windows, black interior and metal chassis with its black-painted finish and chrome-finish exhaust detail.
The casting represents the 2021 Audi RS 7 Sportback Custom. The “’21” in the product name identifies the depicted car; HGW11 identifies this Hot Wheels release.

One release is documented for the casting. Open its guide for the HGW11 identification record and condition details.
Physical details
Mattel describes a ZAMAC metal body and chassis with a high-gloss Cool Gray finish. Authentic Audi badging and Euro plates complement the custom body. The model uses gloss-black open five-spoke wheels with subtle camber, light-smoke windows and a black interior. A full-metal, black-painted chassis ends in a chrome-finish exhaust.
Elite 64 construction includes more than 20 pieces, with separate mirrors, grilles, front and rear light details, and custom body elements. These small components, the camber and the wheel finish are useful checks when distinguishing HGW11 from generic or modified RS 7 models.
Packaging and condition
HGW11 was packaged on an illustrated blister card inside a Kar Keepers clamshell. Inspect the card, clear blister and outer clamshell separately; note creases, cracks, scuffs and crushing without treating package wear as damage to the casting.
For a loose example, check the high-gloss finish under even light, especially across the roof, doors and wide body panels. Inspect the open five-spoke wheels, slight camber, separate mirror and lighting details, base and chrome exhaust. Record any replaced wheels or missing small parts separately.
