Description[]
The Solar Reflex is an original Hot Wheels casting based on a solar-powered two-seat sports car, debuting in the 2007 New Models.
In 2018, a change occurred: the solar panel has a minor change in the rear area toward the spoiler of the back, being a rivet to rivet design instead of a post to rivet design.
