Latest Hot Wheels RLC Custom Barracuda Looks Amazing

Hot Wheels’ Red Line Club (RLC) just announced the second release of their custom 1968 Plymouth Barracuda casting—this time decked out in Spectraflame Antifreeze, a wild, electric green color never before used on this casting. The first version of this custom ‘Cuda, finished in Spectraflame Teal, launched back in April 2024 and quickly sold out. Now, this new version raises the bar again, pairing a vivid finish with all the right details collectors crave.

Designer’s Dream Turned Diecast – 

This casting comes straight from the mind of legendary Hot Wheels designer Phil Riehlman, who calls it a vision of what he’d build with a real ’68 Barracuda notchback if money were no object. He imagined wide flared fenders, an aggressive front splitter, rear and front spoilers, and hood inserts that scream vintage race car meets modern street machine. The result is a muscle-bound Mopar tribute packed into a 1:64 scale.

Packed with Premium Features – 

The 2025 RLC Exclusive Barracuda isn’t just about flashy paint. It’s built on a ZAMAC metal body, with a matte black roof, smoke-tinted windows, and a black interior accented by a dark gray roll bar. Under the hood, Hot Wheels gives us a detailed look at a HELLEPHANT HEMI® V8 engine—a nod to Mopar’s monstrous 1,000-horsepower crate motor.

Adding to the realism are Real Riders 5-spoke mag wheels, a matte black painted chassis, and fully painted engine and chassis details that make this casting feel like a mini pro-touring show car. Each unit is also blister carded and sealed in a Kar Keepers clamshell for safe display.

Limited Release, Collector Perks – 

At $27.00 USD, this diecast is priced as a premium piece—but for collectors, it’s worth every penny. To even be eligible to buy one, you need to be a member of the Red Line Club. At just $9.99 a year, RLC membership unlocks access to exclusives like this Barracuda, plus perks like early access to product drops and members-only content.

Given how fast the first version sold out, this new Antifreeze version is likely to disappear just as quickly. It’s a one-time release, and once it’s gone, it’s gone.

A Must-Have for Mopar Fans and Hot Wheels Collectors – 

This ’68 Custom Plymouth Barracuda is more than a toy—it’s a love letter to classic American muscle, reimagined with a modern Hot Wheels twist. With its bold looks, thoughtful design, and limited availability, it’s a no-brainer addition for any RLC member or serious Mopar diecast fan. It drops tomorrow, Tuesday, June 3rd, 2025 at 12:00 p.m. EDT / 9:00 a.m. PDT.
