Imported from Japan.
A set of two iconic Nissan racing cars that thrived in the 1990s.
The R390 was developed for the 24 Hours of Le Mans and features a chassis completely different from Nissan's production cars, equipped with a 3.5-liter V6 twin-turbo engine in the center, in collaboration with the British racing team and factory, TWR (Tom Walkinshaw Racing).
Competing in the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1997 and 1998, the R390, driven by the Japanese trio of Kazuyoshi Hoshino, Akira Suzuki, and Masahiko Kageyama, achieved an impressive overall 3rd place in 1998, thrilling Japanese racing fans.
The Primera is a mid-size sedan that debuted in 1990 and is often described as "similar to European cars."
It gained popularity for its high body rigidity and excellent handling performance, participating in European sedan races such as BTCC and Japan's JTCC.
While the JTCC participating vehicle shares the same body as the production Primera, it has transformed into a more aggressive form with a lowered ride height and larger wheels.
Hot Wheels has skillfully scaled down the essence of the JTCC machine with a new mold.
