1973- Superfine Turbine
Casting Details
The 1973 Superfine Turbine is such a fun and futuristic Redline casting. Designed by Larry Wood, this model really captured the early ’70s fascination with jet power and turbine engines.
The Superfine Turbine is characterized by the prominent jet engine in the front, giving it that bold, experimental concept-car look. At the rear of the vehicle, there is a plastic door that pops open to expose a two-tiered shelf, adding an extra interactive feature that makes it stand out from many other castings of the era.
Like many 1973 releases, it came in bright enamel colors and rode on capped wheels, reflecting the shift away from Spectraflame paint during that time. There are no known casting variations among Superfine Turbines, which is likely a consequence of the brief span of production.
It’s a great example of how Hot Wheels wasn’t just copying real cars in the early days—they were imagining what the future of speed could look like.

About This Casting
This 1973- Superfine Turbine represents a standout piece from the Redline era of Hot Wheels collecting. Each casting from this period showcases the legendary Spectraflame paint and red-line tires that defined the golden age of Hot Wheels.
Hot Wheels Redlines from the late 1960s and early 1970s are prized for their innovative designs, vibrant colors, and exceptional craftsmanship. The attention to detail in these miniature replicas captured the imagination of collectors then and now.
Why This Casting Stands Out
What makes this casting special is its place in Hot Wheels history. The unique design features, original Spectraflame finish, and red-line wheels represent the pinnacle of 1960s-70s die-cast manufacturing. These details make it highly sought after by collectors.
Whether you have a single vintage Hot Wheels car or an entire collection, each piece carries value and history. Redline Hot Wheels in good condition can be worth significantly more than you might expect.
