2011 Hot Wheels ’09 Corvette Stingray Concept T8279 — Pearl white — Casting Info & Complete Collector’s Guide
Whitewall tires and smooth disc-style wheels give the white Garage car a very different stance from the mainline releases. Red striping follows the raised center of the body, and a small 09 sits near the rear quarter.

T8279 is the pearl-white Garage: GM release. Its red interior and red-and-silver decoration distinguish it from the plainer debut colors.
Physical Details
The white body carries red and silver striping and an 09 marking near the rear wheel. Whitewall disc-style wheels and the reddish cabin make a useful paired check. Inspect the tire sidewalls for discoloration separately from wear on the printed body stripes.

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 assortment is identified in the release facts above, but this page currently shows the car loose. A complete front-and-reverse package photograph is still needed to authenticate regional card numbers, barcode and factory seal. When buying a packaged specimen, compare its actual wheel faces and decoration with the loose reference before treating it as the same release.
Variation Summary
Choosing one for your collection
Check the white tire bands for scuffs and the red roof stripe for rubbed edges. On a loose example, make sure both axles roll freely and the tires are seated evenly.
The reference shows one side. Ask for the other side and the underside when condition, base details or wheel originality matter.
Collector questions
What separates the white Garage car from a plain white repaint?
Compare the whitewall disc-style wheels, red interior, stripes and small 09 together. No single color is enough to identify the complete release.
