Top Gun on Four Wheels



Hi Woodsy


The latest addition to the Hot Wheels Top Gun Maverick line is this '71 Porsche 911, in the 2025 Pop Culture series. Being part of a premium line, it has a metal body, metal baseplate, Real Rider wheels, and costs at least three times as much as a regular Hot Wheels model.

The car has a silver body, and black interior, with fine tampo-printed detailing. All that metal makes for a heavy model.

The Porsche joins the F/A-18E Super Hornet jet in the Top Gun Maverick line. There have also been models of the Grumman F-14 Tomcat, and Kawasaki Ninja GPZ 900R motorcycle, from the original Top Gun movie.

Plus a much larger number of Top Gun and Top Gun Maverick die-cast models from Matchbox. Plus Top Gun plastic kits by Airfix and Revell.

PS. Do you like the Top Gun movies?

  1. I like the card art Paul, very impressive. The small car looks a bit lost in it. I enjoyed Top Gun, an icon of its generation. Maverick was pure nostalgia.
