While I love the new highly detailed 1/64 models arriving daily, I still have a fondness to Matchbox and HotWheels models of actual cars, especially Jaguars.
In 2025 and 2026, two Collectors editions with boxes were released of the 1993 Jaguar XJ220S. Back in 1993, this was the world record holder for top speed, using the Jaguar XJR16 based engine that Jaguar won with in IMSA racing. Tom Walkingshaw Racing designed and built the car for Jaguar and it cost a quarter million at the time.
Here is the 2025 issue.
Here is the 2026 issue in British Racing Green, my favourite of this pair.

And here are my sons and me slightly after '93.

David - I've been dying to ask you - "Ho do YOU like the NEW Jags?" I haven't yet seen a sedan in person, but the car does make quite a statement. Here's the coupe too, although not yet available.
Your thoughts? 🤔 🤨 🤔 🤨 🤔
