C10. Teegray. The 2010 New Models issue. A plastic on metal casting produced in Malaysia. The only example in my collection & not something I would normally seek out.
I have had a few of these in my collection. It is from a Mattel designer I am not familiar (with that I know of) - Alton Takeyasu and debuted in 2010 with 19 castings releases as recently as 2021. I remember it because it is one of the 2014 High Speed Wheel Series castings. The 2010 card back notes its specialty as being made 'With twin roof-mounted ear-shaped scoops and air intakes in the side stripes, this mid-engine exotic goes feline fast!'
Here's an example that I have, from the 2017 Mystery Models series. I do think it looks a bit better with tampoed headlights, but I think it's a cool casting regardless. Unfortunately the canopy color on this release makes it a bit difficult to see interior details.
