Description[]
Sol-Aire CX4 is an original design by Larry Wood that debuted under the Mainline in 1984. It is a depiction of an 1980s style Group-C race car. This casting features a hinged, opening rear engine cover and visible rear engine. This casting was planned to have been named Fast GT for a California Custom Series release in 1990, and is often mistaken for GT Racer due to its similar appearance. Despite being a Hot Wheels original model, some Race Team variants feature the Chevrolet insignia.
Sol-Aire CX4 was featured in the Heroes on Hot Wheels television series driven by Julie Wood.
