Description[]
This casting is an enhanced version of the original '81 DeLorean DMC-12 casting, featuring better proportions and other minor changes; it is based on Manson Cheung's own DeLorean DMC-12, with it largely being based off and worked off the original DeLorean cast that he did but modified to more look like his own car. The casting most notably features opening doors.
Manson posted the following on a DeLorean enthusiast website:
- Totally new sculpt. I reworked the car to better match the real car. I did not have my car when I made the first one for 2010 line. I took measurements off my car to make this one the best (as it may be the last) DeLorean that Hot Wheels can make. Although, some sacrifices were made (wheel size, graphic application, opening feature) because of production limitations. Also, this one is an Automatic, all others were Manual. Packed with doors open in same blister as RLC BTTF2. Limited to 4000. Available only through HotWheelsCollectors.com, and soon at delorean.com.
The base of the casting reads DeLorean.
