The 1997 Toyota Supra has already earned its place as a modern JDM legend, and now it returns to the Red Line Club lineup in a striking new colorway. The RLC Exclusive 1997 Toyota Supra (JCP14) bathes the fourth generation Supra in Spectraflame British Racing Green, pairing classic motorsport color with one of the most iconic tuner platforms of all time. It is a serious premium piece aimed squarely at collectors.
Fourth Generation Supra, Collector Grade Treatment
Mattel describes this release as a fourth generation jewel, and it fits. Under the emerald finish is the familiar grand tourer silhouette that made the MK4 Supra an icon in car culture, video games, and movies. For this RLC edition, the focus is on premium details and display value rather than wild graphics.
Lift the easy-open hood and you will find a detailed twin-turbo 2JZ-GTE style engine, painted to stand out against the British Racing Green body. It is a reminder of what the Supra name has always meant: to surpass.
Key Features of the RLC 1997 Toyota Supra
Hot Wheels has loaded this release with the features collectors expect from a modern Red Line Club casting.
- Body color: Spectraflame British Racing Green for a deep, metallic finish.
- Body type: ZAMAC metal body.
- Features: Opening hood with engine details and a removable targa top, allowing both closed and open display options.
- Wheels: Real Riders 5-spoke modern wheels.
- Base: Full metal matte black chassis.
- Windows: Light smoke-tinted glass.
- Interior: Black interior with tan seats for a subtle two-tone cabin.
- Scale: 1:64 premium RLC construction.
The combination of British Racing Green paint, 5-spoke Real Riders, and the removable targa top gives this Supra a clean, understated look that still reads like a serious performance car on display.
Packaging for Display Collectors
This Supra is not just a loose car. It comes packaged on an illustrated blister card and packed inside a Kar Keepers clamshell case, making it ready for wall display or long term storage straight out of the shipping box.
Collectors who prefer to keep RLC pieces sealed will appreciate the clamshell protection, while loose collectors can crack it open knowing the car arrived in premium packaging from the start.
Why This Supra Release Matters
The MK4 Supra already has legendary status in the real world, and that fame has carried over into diecast. Earlier RLC Supra releases in Spectraflame blue and other colors have been strong performers on the secondary market, thanks to the car's popularity in JDM culture and its long association with tuning and racing.
This new British Racing Green version offers several reasons to pay attention:
- It is a fresh premium colorway on a proven casting.
- The color and wheel choice lean more toward a classic grand tourer look than a wild tuner style, broadening its appeal.
- RLC exclusivity and a per-customer limit help keep supply controlled.
- Supra castings tend to be highly sought after by both JDM and Hot Wheels collectors.
