Hot Wheels Knockoff [Lykan Hypersport]

I bought this car on AliBaba for $2.63 shipped. It's a 1:64 replica of the Lykan Hypersport, in a knockoff Hot Wheels package. It's actually really well done! I thought it was a Hot Wheels knockoff at first, but I checked and Hot Wheels has not made this car! Excuse the glare, I've been trying carded diecast photo ideas and this one didn't turn out like I thought it would.

They had a few other models too, but I picked the Lykan. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1-64-Hot-Wheels-Diecast-The-Fast-and-The-Furious-Pocket-Car-Models-Alloy-Cars-Toys/32730777728.html?spm=2114.13010608.0.0.DCPTaE

I definitely see quite a number of Hot Wheels-ish castings, the images are too small to say with certainty but I see a number of HW designs.

I cannot understand the logo, but it looks like "LR" ? I can scan the back of the card but would need to find someone that knows chinese, or maybe one of those "image to text" translator phone apps.

The Mustang II is a Mustang too!
I wouldn't mind getting the whole series in all honesty. I'm guessing they don't have interiors, but they look amazingly like Hot Wheels. So much so that it wouldn't surprise me in the least if they were made in the same factory.

I have 7 of them. Only the Aston Martin DB9 has an interior.

Correct. Windows are usually blacked out but interiors are confirmed.

My wife and step-daughter are Chinese, that's not a problem. Timing is the problem, the daughter is away on a trip and wife is occupied with work, but if you post I will have her take a look at a convenient time. Daughter's English is a little better, so wife may not have the best translation, but it would be something to go by.

Here's a scan of the cardback. Excuse the staples, they used cheap glue on the package and it's not like it will be collectable for at least another 30 years, right? lol

Also I found something interesting. It looks like in August 2016, T-Hunted thought that this was going to be a new Hot Wheels.

Wife looked at the cardback, she tells me the upper right block is a warning for small children (sounds to me like the standard "3 and under" clause). Short version of the same warning on the left (see the number "3"). Under that is a note to only clean with a dry cloth, not to use water to clean. Across the bottom is the company name and address. She tells me the company name is "Santo," located in Santo city (not unheard of to have a company - city name the same). The short block just above the UPC is "made in China"
