Auto World 2020 Chevy Corvette and Hot Wheels 2020 Corvette, Corvette C8.R

Hey everyone, I'm going to do a review of these Corvettes. So we've got the 2020 Chevy Corvette, we've got the Corvette C8R and just for comparison, I've opened this before in another Hot Wheels video, just a mainline 2020 Chevy Corvette 2. So this is the first, I think this is the first auto world vehicle that I reviewed on this channel. I've got a few more coming up and I've been getting into this brand because they've got a lot of really cool details and I like the true 164 scale that they offer. So let's take a look at this packaging. Sports car, diecast metal body and chassis, great. Rubber tyres, opening hood, really cool graphic here. Limited edition, but it doesn't say how many there are. Premium facts, being so low to the ground, the Corvette has a suspension lift system, up to a thousand GPS locations can be saved. So the car's nose automatically lifts when approaching. The 2020 Corvette with the optional Z51 package blasts from zero to 60 miles an hour in 2.8 seconds. Now this one came in two livery colours. One was blue and the other one was this one called, if I can zoom in, Zeus Bronze. So it looks fantastic and I can't wait to open this and show you. Sorry about the zoom, it's just picking up the bubble, or the blister. Okay, so here, premium series release to version A, 2020 Chevy Corvette. And on the back, we can see what else they've got. So they kind of show you the rest of the releases in this wave. So here we've got, look at this, new casting, Shelby GT and so on. And then they also show you these ultra red variations or chase die casts, randomly mixed in. 3% of the entire production run have this kind of red, ultra red kind of livery and design. I'm not too fussed about that. And I've seen some price on eBay and they go for quite a lot of money. So here we go, yeah, all six. And you've got a little tick box and stuff like that and shows you a little picture of them. So it's really nicely presented. As you can see, there's only six. It's not like a massive box of Hot Wheels where you get, I don't know how many castings there are. It's like 150 throughout the year they release through boxes. But this just limited number of castings per wave and limited numbers per model. So now that I've done that, let's get this open and take a look inside. Okay, here we go. So at the bottom, it's not been six plus, there you go. Not been glued on all the way. So it gives you an opening to open it and try and do it. No, it's just gonna rip everything. So I'm glad I got a video of the other stuff. I'm not one of those people who cuts out and keeps cards and all that. I don't have the space for that. So that's how it comes really nicely protected in another plastic bubble. Wow, look at that. It's like some kind of raw zamak underneath, unpainted. I've never seen that before. And we'll be looking at that in more detail later on. So let's just put that one here. It's not the smoothest roll, but the wheels turn. But yeah, not the smoothest roll. Okay, now onto this Hot Wheels mainline. Pretty cool livery. I know there's a white Real Riders premium version of this, but I quite like this blue one. So here we go on the back if you're interested. Then and now 2022 and so on and so forth. Here we go. So let's just rip this open. Again, I've always got really cool artwork, but I'll never save any of them. Okay, so that's that one there. Let's put that there. And I got my other one, the mainline. So okay, let's take a look at this Auto World first. Whoops, let's do my zoom in right here. Right, look at this. Okay, so it's just painted front lights. No plastic pieces, which is a shame. So on the front, here we go. You can see the logo clearly. If you can get some light in there just to show you. It's painted black. It's got the structure of the cast all here and here. Really nice colors. It's got this side design here. No opening doors, but it's got this opening hood, which I'll have a go at later. It looks like a metal flake bronze. There's quite a noticeable gap here. When it comes to moving parts, sometimes if the gap is too big, it can make it look, it can kind of ruin the silhouette. Let's check that out later. I've got some tiny writing on the back. Say Corvette and then Zeus as the license plate. And we've got some painted exhausts here. Two on this side and two on this side. That one's, this one's not quite black in the middle, but that's very easily fixed. So these two have been done really well. These two kind of hit and miss, a bit sloppy. But overall, you know, in terms of the kind of quality of the cast, you know, it's a premium version of this car. I'm quite impressed with it so far. Okay, so for the lights, I've just got this kind of pattern. See, that's too close. Nope, that's fine. There we go. There you go. You can see it in detail. Okay, let's take a look at this bottom. I've never seen a casting of the bottom like this before. Okay, so I've got the Autoworld logo here. This is just so rough, even feeling it. Proper raw, 164057. And I've got the tiniest text here. Okay, it's made in Dongguan, Guangdong, made in China. Normally, cars have the name of what it is. But here it just says TMGM, General Motors, Autoworld, copyright 2022, round two, LLC. So it just tells you the wave that it was released in. And then some random thing, 04-13-2022, that date, April 13th, I don't know. But yeah, I've never seen that before. Normally, there's some kind of details. Okay, so these tires, they don't... There's a bit of a rough part here. It's not... It spins and then it catches on something. So yeah, they're not really... You know, if you wanted to put this down a Hot Wheels track, it's gonna lose. That's it. Okay, these tires are really nice. There's a tiny fleck there. But again, this is at high magnification. I didn't even notice it until I zoomed in. There we go. Beautiful. Let's try and have a look at this hood. I don't even know how it opens. I don't want to be too rough with it either. With Tomica, you can just do that. You can just shake it. If you turn it upside down and shake it and it will change. But this one... Okay, I have to do it quite carefully. Here we go. All right, let's take a look inside. So I don't want to open it too much. Right, let's take a look inside. Look at that. Got detail painted in red. It's got this bar across for the seats. You can kind of see the mechanism here. Let's try and zoom in a bit more. Yeah, there we go. Okay, that's a bit too much. Yeah, my camera doesn't like that. Can't focus very well. Okay, let's just take it back to normal. So here we go. Let's turn it to the side here. And on the other side. So that's how it looks with the engine hood up and down. Yeah, it closes quite nicely. I think just apart from this panel gap, it's a very good opening part, as in the way it's been designed. Sometimes on Matchbox opening parts, it doesn't quite have that good fit. And it sticks out, which really ruins the sort of car's design, the silhouette of it. But this is smooth. And it's just this gap on the top. So there you go. What's this on the back here? Just that. Okay, it's just some part here. Detail on the roof. Look at that, nice and glossy. Let's have a look at the interior now. So there's no opening doors, but this window is not filled in. Now we can take a look inside. Left-hand drive, black steering wheel. So they've tried to do a little bit of, just a small amount of differentiation through different colours. And here we go on the roof. That's that. There we go. Okay, let's take a look at the Hot Wheels next. So basic mainline, fun casting, plastic wheels, C8.R 2020. And it's got some labels on the side. So we've got Hot Wheels, got the name of the vehicle, C8.R Hot Wheels, GRFX number eight, Corvette number eight. So most of the time with Hot Wheels, they're painting them, but on this they've managed to put the plastic through, which is quite cool. And then they've got this plastic part here and the rest, as is common with mainlines, just really unpainted. But this design, I think this is one of the few ones where they've actually, yeah, put it on as the livery with all these other kind of colours and patterns, which makes it stand out. Metal spoiler, there's the back. For a customiser, I mean, these vehicles, because they've got all the details sculpted in, it'll be very easy to just put, add some different colours here and here and even like do a licence plate and stuff. So yeah, the option's always there. And then it's got this on the back window. Is that a metal flake? Yeah, you can see it's a metal flake. Okay, that's the Corvette C8.R. And then this is just the mainline, which I've reviewed, I opened in a previous video. So let's get both of them here up now. So let's start from the back. Here we go. So you can see, I like that on the back, that little detail there. Here you've got the licence plate, the Corvette name. This ain't too bad. They've actually done some red part here, red paint, got the Corvette name there too. And then on the exhaust, yes, they're pretty similar. This part's plastic, I think. Yeah, so they've tried to, Hot Wheels, not bad for this mainline. And on the side, it's got an extra line here maybe. You can see, chose five spoke wheels, five spoke wheels on here. For a mainline, that's just a couple of quid in England. It's not bad. And then the front, yep, so they've both got the logo on the front and painted headlights. Hot Wheels, the wing mirrors are a bit bigger. And the inside of the Hot Wheels, you can see, it's not that clear what's going on there. And here it's much clearer because of the lighter interior, but they look quite similar in terms of the moulding. But yeah, this is a true 164 and the Hot Wheels is just the designer's dimensions to fit a kid's hand. But actually they're pretty similar in size. I think, yeah, the nose is slightly different on the Auto World one. That's where that premium detail comes in. So there you go. Let's get these spun on the turntable. Here we go. So yeah, let me know what Auto World cars you guys have got, which ones you're looking forward to and anything you like about the Corvette.
