Casting History
Casting History
The ex-Corgi Porsche 911 Carrera joined Hot Wheels in the 1996 FAO Schwarz Gold Series III set and remained catalogued through the 2003 Final Run release. Collector histories trace the earlier Corgi tool to a 1973 Carrera RS form, despite Porsche 911 Turbo naming on some later packages. It is separate from Larry Wood's P-911 and Ryu Asada's modern '96 Porsche Carrera. Mattel acquired Corgi in 1989, but that acquisition date does not establish a Hot Wheels release year. The 2003 Final Run is documented as the retirement edition of this specific ex-Corgi tool.

Porsche 911 Carrera — Frequently Asked Questions
Collector FAQs
Which details separate one release from another?
Compare the casting name with the year, toy number, finish, graphics, wheels and package markings shown for that version.
Does the copyright year on the base always match the release year?
No. The base copyright can predate the year a particular color or package appeared. Use the release markings and packaging together.
What should I inspect on a loose example?
Check the paint, printed graphics, wheel faces and base for wear or damage. Those details help compare condition between examples.
What does the carded photograph show?
It documents the package design and the car as sold. Loose-car photos are shown separately when an exact view is available.
