2027 Hot Wheels Super Treasure Hunts So Far: What's Confirmed and How to Spot One

Mattel's 2027 Hot Wheels mainline is still weeks away from most shelves, yet collectors are already comparing notes on which cars will carry the coveted Spectraflame paint. Early previews and unboxings from US retail have produced a working list of 2027 Super Treasure Hunts (STHs). This guide separates what is reported consistently from what is still unclear, and explains how to recognise an STH when a case finally reaches you.

Which 2027 Super Treasure Hunts Have Been Reported?

According to community trackers such as HWtreasure and coverage from autoevolution, six 2027 Super Treasure Hunts had been shown by mid-October 2026:

• '64 Lincoln Continental in Spectraflame purple, reported as the first 2027 STH.
• '87 Dodge D100 in Spectraflame green with a mud-splattered livery and off-road Real Riders wheels.
• BMW M4 GT3 in Spectraflame blue with a red, white and blue livery.
• '88 Mitsubishi Starion in Spectraflame blue with black and white side stripes.
• Aston Martin DB5 Safari Edition in Spectraflame green.
• Ferrari 12Cilindri in Spectraflame yellow.

Where the sources disagree

Trackers do not agree on which case each STH ships in. For example, autoevolution describes the BMW M4 GT3 as the Case B STH, while HWtreasure labels it differently, and the Aston Martin DB5 appears under different assortments depending on the source. Mix labels and case letters do not always map one to one, so treat case assignments as provisional until Mattel's own case lists or in-hand cases confirm them. The list itself may also grow as later cases are revealed.

What Is the 2027 Chase Car?

Separate from the mainline STHs, Hot Wheels has been running a chase-car storyline. autoevolution reported in October 2026 that a Porsche 911 GT3 RS had been revealed as the next 2027 chase car, following a Nissan Skyline and a Ferrari F40. Details such as quantities and release timing were not clear from the coverage we could find, so we are not repeating any numbers here.

How to Spot a Super Treasure Hunt on the Peg

1. Spectraflame paint. A deep, glossy, translucent metallic finish, unlike the opaque paint on a regular mainline car.
2. Real Riders wheels. Rubber tyres on metal wheels instead of all-plastic wheels.
3. A "TH" tampo. A small TH graphic on the body.
4. Card clues. The blister card may carry a gold circle and flame emblem behind the car. Packaging details can vary by region and release, so check the car as well as the card.

A regular Treasure Hunt (not super) is a different, more common tier: it uses a silver flame-in-circle mark and standard paint. If you want the full breakdown, read our guide What Is a Chase Car? Hot Wheels Treasure Hunts and Super Treasure Hunts Explained.

Collector Perspective

Early-reveal season is when excitement outruns information. Photos of unopened cases drive a lot of speculation, and a car's case letter, colour or even its finish can be reported wrongly in the first days. Experienced collectors tend to wait for two or three independent confirmations before planning a hunt around a specific casting. There is also the question of condition: a Spectraflame STH only keeps its appeal if the paint and card stay clean, which is why loose versus carded condition matters so much for chase pieces. In India, where mainline cases usually arrive later than in the US, the gap between reveal and availability is longer, so there is time to learn the cases before you search. Our explainer on Hot Wheels case codes helps you read assortment letters correctly.

Practical Takeaway

• Bookmark the six reported STH castings so you recognise them quickly.
• Do not pay a premium based on a case letter alone while sources conflict.
• Check paint, wheels and the TH mark on the car itself before buying a sealed pack.
• Buy from sellers who show the actual pack, and read our guide on spotting repainted or fake Hot Wheels before paying for any Spectraflame car.
• Browse the Hot Wheels collection or the Official Die Cast collection to see what is currently listed.

FAQ

What is a Hot Wheels Super Treasure Hunt?

A Super Treasure Hunt is a rarer version of a mainline Hot Wheels car with Spectraflame paint, Real Riders rubber-tyre wheels and a TH graphic. It is mixed into regular cases in small numbers.

Which cars are the 2027 Hot Wheels Super Treasure Hunts?

Reported so far: '64 Lincoln Continental, '87 Dodge D100, BMW M4 GT3, '88 Mitsubishi Starion, Aston Martin DB5 Safari Edition and Ferrari 12Cilindri. The list may expand as more cases are revealed.

How can I tell if a Hot Wheels is a Super Treasure Hunt?

Look for glossy Spectraflame paint, Real Riders wheels and a small TH mark on the body. The card may also show a gold circle-and-flame emblem.

When will the 2027 Hot Wheels cases be available?

We could not find an official Mattel date for each 2027 case. Reveals so far come from US retail unboxings, and availability in India typically follows later.

No. A regular Treasure Hunt has standard paint and a silver flame mark, while a Super Treasure Hunt has Spectraflame paint, Real Riders wheels and the TH graphic.
