Trends Hobby in India: A Buyer's Guide to the 1:64 Race-Car Brand

If you are searching for Trends Hobby in India, you are probably a race fan who has seen these tiny GT3 cars online and wants to know where to buy them and what to expect. This is a practical buyer's guide to the brand: what it makes, how its range is priced here, and how to buy without surprises. For the brand story, see our earlier Trends Hobby brand guide.

What Trends Hobby Is

Trends Hobby makes 1:64 scale metal models of Porsche and Lamborghini cars, and a European retailer that stocks it describes it as an emerging brand producing officially licensed replicas with high-quality paint finishes. The range falls into three groups:

  • Race cars: the Porsche 911 GT3 R and the Lamborghini Huracán GT3 EVO and EVO2, usually in the livery of a real race entry.
  • Heritage racers: the 1998 Porsche 911 GT1, a Le Mans legend.
  • Road cars and specials: the Lamborghini Temerario, the Porsche Taycan Turbo GT and 918 Spyder, and art-collaboration Lamborghini Urus editions.

We do not have a verified company history for the brand, so we will not make one up. What matters for a collector is the consistency: the same two manufacturers, tight focus, and liveries tied to real races.

Here is how the models we list are positioned. Prices are what we list at the time of writing and can change, so check the product page.

Road cars: the easiest way in (about ₹1,400 to ₹1,800)

Race cars (about ₹2,100 and up)

Pre-orders: the rarer liveries

The most sought-after race liveries are usually offered as pre-orders. These include the 2024 Le Mans LMGT3-winning Porsche #91, the 2026 Bathurst 12 Hour Porsche #911 and the 2025 DTM Lamborghini Huracán GT3 EVO2 #63. You can browse everything in the Trends Hobby collection.

How Pre-Orders Work

A pre-order is a booking: you pay a small amount now to reserve a unit, and the balance is collected before shipping. Each listing shows the full price, the booking amount and the estimated arrival. Bookings are non-refundable and non-cancellable, so read our pre-order guide first. The upside is that you are not racing other buyers for a livery after it lands.

Is Trends Hobby Worth Buying?

  • Yes, if you follow motorsport. The liveries tie to real events, which gives each model a story.
  • Yes, if you want a focused shelf. Two manufacturers make for a clean, matching display.
  • Maybe not, if you want variety. The range is narrower than Mini GT or Tarmac Works. See our Mini GT vs Pop Race vs Tarmac Works comparison to compare.

Buying Tips for Indian Collectors

  • Buy from a seller that lists the exact livery and number. Many GT3 liveries look alike. Our guide to spotting authentic 1:64 diecast helps.
  • Decide between road car and race car first. Road cars are the cheaper entry; race liveries are the collector pieces.
  • Display them well. Our display and protection guide covers dust and sunlight.
  • Check shipping. See our shipping options page for delivery details.
