Got an XB car that is in no database

[Carrera124]

Today, I received this nice XB Honda CR-Z "Autobacs".
Copyright says year "2015" and the seller stated article number "92453". However, I cannot find that number on the box/sticker, so I have to trust.
Does somebody know something about that model livery? Is it a Limited or Special Edition?

Specially made for Autobacs, possibly an internal promo model?

Neat find

 

Is there a barcode anywhere on the box? Usually the article numbers will be there.

[Carrera124]

No, I cannot find any barcode.

Very nice indeed!

I think it's rather unlikely that 92453 is the original Tamiya item number. That wouldn't fit in the Tamiya number system at all. Tamiya 92xxx-series reached number 92341 by end of 2015, and it's unlikely that Tamiya would skip more than 100 items for numbeing this item. Also, several sites claim the item number to be EL-92453-10, which definitely isn't a Tamiya item number. I'm not excluding the possibility, but I think it's very likely that the actual Tamiya item number is something else or that it was released without an official Tamiya item number. Either way, a very attractive looking model!

Could you provide these sites? I cannot find anything like this.

The ones I could find again, which obviously refer to the same auction:

Suspected that! :-)

It may be like the hyaundai i20 they are going to release only in Korea and Germany. It probably won’t officially be released world wide. Although they have given that a id number.

Meanwhile, I sent a request to Tamiya Germany and got response:

Tamiya Germany does not know the model. They assume that is has been manufactured by Tamiya Japan as a merchandise item, but they don‘t have the chance to get this information from Japan.

And another XB special edition:

92395 Subaru WRX STI NBR Challenge

Looks like the same car that was just announced for september with number 57907.
