The 25 Coolest Hot Wheels Lamborghini Diecast Cars

Until then, I'm happy to own several tiny versions of these phenomenal machines. I only have about 10 Lamborghinis in my Hot Wheels collection, including one Urus, one Sesto Elemento, one Gallardo LP560, and two Huracan LP 620-2 Super Trofeo. As I'm reorganizing my collection, I need to decide which brands or castings I will focus on. So, I'd like to share the results of my research with you as well.

Following up on my Hot Wheels Porsche study, the same questions came to mind. How many Hot Wheels Lamborghini castings are there? How many variations do you need to buy to have a complete collection? Which of those HW Lambos is more special than the others? And which models should Mattel create replicas of next? I want to point out that the diecast manufacturer got the license from Lamborghini in 1988. That's years after the Porsche one, so it doesn't come as a surprise that fewer castings are available. I counted 30, plus an additional 1/43rd-scale version of the Countach LPI 800-4. But, we will be focusing on 1/64th-scale models for this story.

Given that I wanted to pick out the 25 coolest Hot Wheels Lamborghini cars, I only had to eliminate five castings. That was more challenging than it sounds, and the vehicles that didn't make the cut are the 25th Anniversary Countach, the 'Tooned Countach, the Estoque, the '17 Urus, and the small Countach LPI 800-4. The first two aren't even around anymore, while the latter has only had two iterations. Granted, one of those was a Premium Chase model, but I wanted to allow this casting more time to "mature" and develop newer variations.

Also, while I like the '17 Urus more than I like the first model Mattel created, at least that one has a Premium variation and has yet to be ruined by TRAP5 wheels along the way. There are 51 different Hot Wheels Lamborghinis on this first part of the list alone. If you're curious to know how many more you need to get for a complete collection, keep reading until the end of the story.

1. Lamborghini Countach

As mentioned earlier, Mattel released the first Hot Wheels Lamborghini more than 30 years ago. Larry Wood designed the Countach casting for its 1988 Speed Fleet debut when it had a metal base and Ultrahot wheels. That same year, it appeared in the Color Changers series, where the car would oscillate between Beige and Pink. I've said this before, and I'll repeat it: if you want to become a marketing expert, you should use Hot Wheels as a case study. In 1993, the company developed the Revealers series, a mystery line of cars. If you were lucky enough to find a Gold Hot Wheels logo inside, you could redeem it for a gold-plated Lamborghini Countach.

Reportedly, there are less than 1,000 of these to go around, which explains why you can end up paying $1,500 for it! In 1996, a Treasure Hunt version of the Countach arrived, and this should have seen about 25,000 units coming out of the factory. Something must have happened in 1997, as no new variations came out until 2011. And then there was another hiatus until 2017 when the latest iteration arrived as part of the Lamborghini series. That adds up to 27 different Countach designs, and I expect tracking them all down to be pretty tricky. Even more so, it might be impossible to find them all carded and in mint condition. But if that does happen, your wallet isn't going to enjoy the adventure.

2. Lamborghini Diablo

Larry Wood designed the Diablo for its 1991 debut, featuring a plain red finish and Ultrahot wheels. These were standard for the casting up until 1995 when Mattel decided to switch to a 5-spoke design. I'm a big fan of the 2001 iteration in Metalflake Purple, which featured 3-spoke wheels, a fitting choice for one of the most exciting cars ever built. Some will say that the 2003 Hall of Fame- Greatest Rides variation was the best of the Diablo's career, as it had Mag-Style Real Riders wheels.

Despite that feature, you can still get one for about $40, although some more enthusiastic sellers are asking $150 for it. Mattel stopped making this casting in 2003 as part of the Final Run series. This was a dramatic way to end the Diablo, and I wonder if the company plans to develop a new casting soon. You can get 23 variations of this iconic vehicle, but it will be challenging again. You must realize that they're all at least 20 years old, and having the budget for this endeavor will not necessarily guarantee its success.

3. Lamborghini Miura

When Mattel released the Miura casting in 1999, Lamborghini was still selling Diablos. Less than 3,000 units of those ever left the factory in Sant'Agata Bolognese, while less than 800 Miuras exist today. The Miura was the OG of the Lamborghini line-up of cars. Even 50 years after production stopped, it's the kind of car that will take your breath away if you ever encounter it on a public road or at an event. If you dream about owning one, you should have at least $2 million in your account first.

And that's why most of us will be happy to have a Hot Wheels replica at home. This casting debuted in the 1999 Legends: Jay Leno Collection 4-Car Set alongside a Shelby Cobra Replica, a '65 Shelby GT350, and a Jaguar XKE. Not only did it feature a metal base and Real Riders wheels, but it also had an opening rear section that revealed the mighty V12 engine inside. The second and last variation of the Miura arrived in 2003 as part of the 100% Hot Wheels series. It was packaged in a rather big box, and you can buy one for about $90 today.

4. Lamborghini Murciélago

Phil Riehlman collaborated with Dave Weise on designing the Murcielago casting. And it arrived at the same time the Italian supercar came to the United States. This debut also marked Lamborghini's 40th anniversary, and the First Edition featured an emblematic Metalflake Yellow finish and PR5 wheels. You can tell that this is a modern casting because Mattel switched from a metal base to a plastic one to cut costs. The Murcielago saw its career highlight early on, in 2004.

As part of the Whips: West Coast Customs series, it had a spectacular Metalflake Purple finish and 5-Spoke Mag-Style Real Riders wheels. You can still find one for about $40, which is pretty good! There are only 11 iterations of this casting for a complete collection. And the last two ones came out in 2018: one was a Batman-themed model, while the other was part of the Fast & Furious series.

5. Lamborghini Reventón

Mattel revealed a 'Tooned version of the Countach in 2004, but it took the company another five more years before launching a new Lamborghini casting. And that was the Reventon, essentially a tricked-out version of the Murcielago. Greg Padginton designed this tiny replica, featuring a Flat Grey finish and PR5 wheels. But people quickly forgot that slow debut, as 2010 came with two iterations in the Speed Machines series. Both had CM6 wheels, but the Lime Green version was much more exciting than the Flat Black one.

I've seen people asking between $70 and $130 for either one of these two, but a loose one should be a lot cheaper than that. After that, it all went downhill for this casting, with 12 variations using the same set of PR5 wheels. The 2023 HW Exotics release was the last nail in the coffin, as the high-end supercar received a set of TRAP5 rims, effectively making it unbearable to look at. At least collecting all the HW Reventons out there isn't going to be Mission Impossible. And some iterations, like the yellow one from Nightburnerz 2011, are decent.

6. Lamborghini Reventón Roadster

Lamborghini sold 20 Reventons and decided to build an additional 15 Roadster units. So Mattel jumped on the bandwagon and released a replica of that car, too. Phil Riehlman received the task and had the Reventon Roadster ready for its 2010 New Models debut. The convertible version is slightly more exciting, as you can also get a sneak peek inside the cabin. This casting appeared in Speed Machines twice, first in 2011 and then in 2013.

But only the first had CM6 wheels, while the latter was on uglier Open Hole 5-spoke ones. Neither have any chances of financially ruining you at $30 a shot. We last saw an iteration of the Reventon Roadster in 2019 as part of the HW Roadsters series. It was the 10th version of the casting since its debut, but not the last one. There's a good chance we will see it in the upcoming Car Culture: Exotic Envy mix, alongside a McLaren F1, a BMW M1 Procar, and the '71 Porsche 911.

7. Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4

I had forgotten this casting existed until I found it in a toy store near my home. It was part of a Multipack, which I seldom buy. But the Gallardo LP560-4 was so appealing that I had to do it. John Violette designed this casting, and it first appeared in 2010. Mattel launched seven variations of it within 12 months, and the three Speed Machines models are the most memorable ones. The second one was perfect with its Metallic Blue finish and Italian Police theme.

These will cost you around $100, give or take, which is more than you'll pay for the other 14 iterations combined. An additional Speed Machines design came out in 2013, but then Mattel changed the strategy for this casting. Except for a 2020 appearance in a Fast and Furious set, the Gallardo L560-4 has turned into a Multipack Exclusive model. And you'll understand the reasons behind this call by reading about the next casting on our list.

8. Lamborghini Gallardo LP 570-4 Superleggera

The LP 570-4 was an evolution of the Gallardo, and the rear wing immediately made the new casting more exciting than the old one. It was off to a good start with a typical green color that emphasized the exotic factor of Lamborghini's best-selling car at the time. Someone is trying to sell this First Edition model for $125 on eBay, but I wouldn't immediately jump on it.

In 2016, Mattel used this casting for the Hot Wheels Entertainment: Forza Motorsport series. So it now had a metal base and Real Riders 10-spoke wheels. Another Premium edition came up in 2019, with the Fast and Furious line-up, and you might remember seeing a Polished Gold version of it just a few weeks ago. Despite not having any particularly rare variations, this is an excellent casting for your collection, thanks to all the color combos it features.

9. Lamborghini Murciélago LP 670-4 SV

Almost a decade had passed since Mattel released the first Hot Wheels Murcielago. So, an updated casting was more than welcome. Phil Riehlman was once again put in charge of the project, and the LP 670-4 SV was off to a great start in the Speed Machines series. It looked great in yellow with black CM6 wheels, a matching engine cover, and a rear wing. This is one of the most expensive Lamborghini collectibles on our list, as it will cost between $200 and $400 for a carded item. Even in loose form, you're still considering spending over $100.

The second variation appeared in 2011 with the Cars of the Decades Walmart-exclusive series. It had a two-tone black and white finish and PR5 wheels. Some nine years later, we saw the latest iteration of the Murcielago LP 670-4 SV, alongside a Veneno, a Huracan Super Trofeo, an Aventador J, and a 570-4 Superleggera in a Lamborghini Multipack. Indeed, this can't be the end for the Murcielago name in the Hot Wheels line-up of cars, and I suspect a new casting is already in the works. If you're working at Mattel and reading this, please look up Phil Morrison's Murcielago R-GT.

10. Lamborghini Aventador

As you'd expect, the Hot Wheels Aventador arrived about the same time as the real-size production vehicle. That's excellent marketing for you right there! This is another casting with Phil Riehlmann written all over it, and it debuted with the 2012 New Models series. Using a Metalflake Arancio Argos was an excellent idea to enter the scene, and I'm sure every little boy or girl who saw one in a toy store picked it up then and there. Despite sporting many exciting colors over the years, it wasn't until 2018 that the Aventador got its breakthrough.

It graduated to Super Treasure Hunt status, which meant it could finally have a Spectraflame paint job and Real Riders wheels. This STH will cost between $65 to $165, but it would surely make an excellent addition to any collection. After a KMart exclusive version that same year, Mattel has released three Premium iterations of this Aventador, and I feel that the 2022 Car Culture:2-Pack is the best one yet.

11. Lamborghini Aventador J

Since 2009, the El Segundo-based diecast manufacturer has released at least one new Lamborghini casting yearly, except for 2017. So, it was only natural that the HW Aventador J appeared one year after the standard model. This was a one-off design by Lamborghini that fetched over $2 million a decade ago. Today, its value is somewhere in the $10 million range. Jun Imai designed the Aventador J, which first sported a red finish similar to the actual car.

A ZAMAC edition came up that same year, and some collectors are big fans of this simple design scheme. But the most exciting of all 14 Aventador J variations on the market is the 2019 Super Treasure Hunt model in Spectraflame Orange. I imagine having this and the Aventador STH next to each other would be great in the same display area. Please remember you don't need to spend $300 on it to make it happen when some sellers have it listed for $50 or less.

12. Lamborghini Sesto Elemento

I remember seeing the Sesto Elemento in Lamborghini's museum in Italy up close. It's a fascinating machine and was one of the brand's most expensive vehicles at launch. Reportedly, only ten units exist, although the supercar manufacturer intended to build 20 of them. Leeway Chang designed the Hot Wheels casting for its 2014 release, and there have been 11 variations up until now. My first Sesto Elemento was the 2016 one from HW Exotics, which featured a sublime Aqua paint job but horrendous TRAP5 wheels. The 2017 Lamborghini series iteration in black with a yellow interior was a lot better, and I still have that one on display at home.

But the ultimate Hot Wheels Sesto Elemento appeared in 2020, and it had Real Riders Exotics rims and a Spectraflame Light Blue finish. This is yet another Lamborghini Super Treasure Hunt you need to find if you're a fan of the Italian brand, but be warned: some people are asking as much as $400 for the Short Card version. If you are okay with the more common iteration with a Long Card, you can pick that one up for about $70. While I'm a big fan of Yellow, I'd say the 2021 Mystery Models Sesto Elemento was a lot better than the latest edition due to having Aerodisc wheels on.

13. Lamborghini Veneno

The Lamborghini Veneno was one of the most expensive production cars in the world when it launched. It had a price tag of about $4 million, surpassing that of the Sesto Elemento. The Italians only built a few units but later delivered nine more roadsters to satisfy the demand. I'm shocked that Mattel hasn't created a replica of the Veneno Roadster yet, but who knows what's coming up next? The 1/64th-scale Veneno appeared in the 2014 HW City: Speed Team series. Kevin Cao designed this casting, and the First Edition featured a Metalflake Silver finish with black PR5 wheels.

After two exotic re-colors and a ZAMAC release, the Veneno moved into Premium territory with the Hot Wheels Entertainment: Gran Turismo series. Mattel opted for a Pearl Yellow paint job and black Modern Concave Real Riders wheels. This Premium variation will cost between $15 and $40, which is quite decent! And that makes you think that collectors didn't like it too much. Having seen how many Lamborghini castings have had close ties with the Speed Machines, it's only fitting that the Veneno was part of the series, albeit ten years too late. You can buy it for less than $10, so getting the complete Veneno collection should be like a walk in the park.

14. Lamborghini Urus

Many hardcore Lamborghini fans were upset when the Italian manufacturer announced the Urus. But let's not forget that they needed to go down this route to keep the dream alive, at least for a few more years. If you're only selling low-volume, high-end supercars, which most people can't afford or wouldn't want to drive daily, you're going nowhere fast in this economy. Ron Way designed this casting for its 2015 debut several years before Lamborghini unveiled the final product in Italy.

Mattel only produced seven variations of this machine, and I didn't think they'd revive it after introducing the new casting. But 2023 proved everyone wrong, and along came the Car Culture: Autostrasse set, which featured an Arancio Borealis Urus. It's the only premium variation of this casting, and it sits perfectly on black Real Riders 5-Spoke Modern rims. If it made it this far, there's a chance we'll see more variations.

15. Lamborghini Huracán LP 610-4

But let's get back to a more pure-bred Lambo, the Huracan LP 610-4. The same man who designed the Sesto Elemento handled this casting, too. It debuted in 2015 with two exciting variations: one in Giallo Midas (Yellow) and the other in Verde Mantis (green). The first Premium variation arrived in 2018 with the Forza Motorsport series. For 2019, Mattel ditched the overcrowded livery and gave us a simple yet amazing Huracan in gray.

But we all know a Lamborghini needs an obnoxious color to emphasize its lines. The 2021 Exotic Envy mix gave us just that, and this might be the best variation of them all. That's not to say that the 2022 Lamborghini Car Culture 2-Pack wasn't just as good, thanks to an extraordinary set of 10-spoke wheels.

16. Lamborghini Huracán LP 620-2 Super Trofeo

This is one of my all-time favorite Lamborghini castings, and I have been fortunate enough to see the actual car live at Imola a few years ago. Whereas the road-going Huracan had to play by the rules and still be capable of providing a somewhat normal driving experience, the LP 620-2 Super Trofeo was a race-ready machine. The First Edition model was part of the Night Burnerz series and had a Metalflake Gray finish and 10-spoke wheels.

Yellow, green, white, and orange followed and brought some life to the casting, and I have included one incredible photo of my collectibles in this gallery. I don't remember seeing the 2019 Matte Black iteration anywhere, but I never purchased Mystery Models. Mattel has only made nine variations of the Super Trofeo design until 2020, and we haven't seen it since. This is a reasonably accessible collection if you like the casting, and there's bound to be a premium or STH variation on the horizon someday.

17. Lamborghini Countach Pace Car

After a break from Lamborghini castings in 2017, Hot Wheels came back in full effect with the Countach Pace Car. This is Ryu Asada's creation, and the First Edition model drew inspiration from the actual pace car of the 1982 Monaco Grand Prix. Riccardo Patrese won that race for Brabham-Ford, while Didier Peroni scored P2 for Ferrari. Mattel delivered six variations of this casting in six years, neither of which have Real Riders wheels.

The AeroDisc design has been the standard for all but one car: the 2019 Black and White Police vehicle. That one featured Gold 5-spoke rims and tinted blue windows all around. The latest version appeared in the 2023 Motorshow 5-pack alongside the 2016 Ford GT Race, the 1967 Ford GT40 Mk.IV, the Aston Martin One-77, and a fantasy car no one cares about.

18. Lamborghini Centenario Roadster

Lamborghini built 40 Centenarios in total: 20 coupes and 20 roadsters. But Mattel only opted to create a replica of the convertible model, and it did so with the help of Ryu Asada in 2019. This casting went through four variations before advancing to the iD series in 2020.

It was impressive to look at, with a Spectraflame Red finish and iD wheels. If you want one in your collection, $20 should do the trick. And while you're at it, you could get the other six variations for a complete line-up of Hot Wheels Centenario Roadsters.

19. '71 Lamborghini Miura P400 SV

The '71 Lamborgini Miura P400 SV arrived almost 20 years after the first Hot Wheels replica of the iconic supercar. Phil Riehlman designed this one, and it was off to a strong debut with two iterations in the iD series. If you ask me, yellow and green are the perfect colors for any Lamborghini, and the iD wheels complete the look. You can buy both versions for less than $50, and a much more expensive model is ahead.

In 2022, the Miura arrived with a Spectraflame Arancio Miura paint job and Real Riders 10-spoke wheels as the official Super Treasure Hunt item for Case L. The rarer, Short Card version of this will cost anywhere between $140 to $300. But the Long Card is less expensive at $30 to $80. We have seen one more Mainline iteration of the casting in 2022 but have yet to see anything in 2023. But I know that something is cooking in El Segundo, California, and the Miura will be revived for 2024, probably as part of a Premium series.

20. '82 Lamborghini Countach LP500 S

You're looking at the fifth-ever Countach casting by Hot Wheels, and this one is an RLC-exclusive model. As is often the case with Red Line Club collectibles, Brendon Vetuskey designed this before its 2019 debut. Mattel made 12,500 units of the Spectraflame Red edition, which featured Real Riders Aero wheels. Price-wise, this model can fetch anywhere between $150 to $400. One seller on eBay has all four variations as a bundle and is asking $475 for them. That might be your best chance to buy these as cheaply as possible and sort things out in seconds.

The second variation came in Spectraflame Black, with just 12,000 units out of the factory. The most absurd price I've seen online is $6,000, but there's another offer at $1,000. Keep scrolling through the available listings, and you'll find the ones for $150. The 2022 RLC sELECTIONs is my favorite variation of this casting, but it's disappointing to know that this isn't that much of a limited model. The same goes for the Spectraflame Olive variation that showed up in 2022, and I wonder how Mattel will deal with this issue in the future.

21. LB-WORKS Lamborghini Huracán Coupé

If there's one thing I've noticed in previous years, it is that Ryu Asada designed most of my favorite Hot Wheels castings. Who knows what cool cars he would have made had he not passed away? The LB-WORKS Lamborghini Huracán Coupé is a fine example of Kato-san's visionary designs, and it's only natural that Mattel wanted in on the action. The 2021 First Edition featured a Light Gray finish and different wheels front and back.

If you've noticed the Mad Mike logo on the hood, you might also remember that the drifting legend drifted a life-sized version of this car: the Nimbul. The Huracan Coupe is undoubtedly not the ideal car for professional drifting, but it can still go sideways for fun. After two more iterations in 2022, there has been no sign of this casting this year. But I can tell you that a Premium Slide Street version is in the works, and it will probably resemble the First Edition model when it comes out.

22. Lamborghini Sián FKP 37

Lindsey Lee designed the Lamborghini Sian FKP 37 for its 2022 Factory Fresh debut. And I can still remember how scalpers used to fight over it once it arrived in toy stores around my town. It's not even a TH, STH, or Premium item, but everyone thought its value would go through the roof for some reason. As Mattel often does, the First Edition used a similar color to that on the actual car, but I'd much rather have the second Orange version instead.

Both iterations had Japanese 5-spoke wheels, which is strange for an Italian car. But I guess these resembled the actual wheels the most. As for any updates, there's nothing new on the horizon, although a new mainline variation is bound to pop up in the 2024 series.

23. Lamborghini Essenza SCV12

The Essenza SCV12 is one of the most insane Lamborghini machines ever. And Mattel has managed to capture that spirit with its 1/64th scale replica. Phil Riehlamn was in charge of designing this, and it has only been on the market for a short while. Its Car Culture: Exotic Envy debut was memorable, with two variations in one mix. The two-tone green and black livery made the regular model shine slightly brighter than the Bugatti, McLaren, Alfa Romeo, and Koenigsegg in that set.

But the murdered-out look was equally as cool on the Chase variation, which can sell for anywhere between $65 and $370. And I'd dare to say that the latest Track Day Collector Set variation is even better-looking with a hint of purple in its paint. It's not as rare, but if you don't care about that kind of thing, it won't matter, will it?

24. Lamborghini Countach LP 5000 QV

This is the sixth-ever Countach casting by Hot Wheels, and we haven't even included the final one in this Top 25 list. You might notice a trend here, as this Mark Jones-designed casting had a similar debut to the previous Lamborghini casting. The Jay Leno Garage Premium set featured two iterations of the Countach LP 5000 QV: the red one and the black Chase model. The cool part about this duo is that Mattel has opted for different sets of wheels.

The regular Countach uses the Real Riders 8-spoke design, while the Chase version is on Real Riders Aero rims. Price-wise, you're looking at around $60 to $110 for the black Countach, and I assume its market value will only increase over time. Well, that's valid if you can avoid releasing it from its plastic prison. From my point of view, the yellow Countach from Car Culture: Spettacolare is one of the coolest Hot Wheels Lamborghini ever, but I'm biased due to my affinity for this color.

25. LBWK Lamborghini Aventador LP 700-4

We couldn't end this list without mentioning the LBWK Lamborghini Aventador LP 700-4. This is part of the first series of Hot Wheels Elite 64 cars, and despite not being particularly rare, its market value is bound to increase over time. It went live a few months ago with a price tag of $20. You can buy it from various online markets for as cheap as $35, but some sellers insist they'll only let go of theirs for over $100. Just like we've seen with earlier Lamborghini castings, this Aventador features moving parts, which is excellent.

But, and yes, there's a but, some collectors have pointed out that you can get a similar product for less money from other manufacturers. It's up to you to decide whether you'd like to stick to Hot Wheels products only or experiment with other collectibles on the market. Now, I will attempt to answer the question I asked at the beginning of this story: how many different Hot Wheels Lamborghini cars are there?

We started with 51 variations of the castings that didn't make the list, and there are an additional 247 more, give or take. That adds up to almost 300 Lamborghini variations for a complete collection. But I'm afraid getting to that point will take thousands and thousands of dollars. And by the time you've finished collecting these, Mattel will have another 20 or more models on the market. So Happy Hunting to you!
