This is a '90 Honda Civic Si, more commonly known as the Honda Civic EF. Designed by Humirō Yoshikawa, Tsuyoshi Nishimura and Shūhei Ueda, the fourth generation of the Honda Civic was a radical redesign, featuring new suspension a lengthened wheelbase and a lower hood line with more glass for less drag. The cars were produced with many different engines, from the 1.3L D13B inline-4 to the 1.6L D16A9 inline-4, and produced in many different plants, from Suzuka, Japan to Ontario, Canada. The Sis were fitted with the 1.6L D16A6 inline-4. The EF was discontinued in 1991 when the next generation, the EG was introduced.
Now this casting was designed by Ryu Asada and introduced in 2014. This casting has nine known releases, the last being in 2019 in the Speed Graphics sub-series in the mainline, which included a Super Treasure Hunt version. A friend of mine suspects that the EF is unlikely to return to the mainline now that there is going to be an EK9 mainline, but you'll never know with Hot Wheels. Swipe for a comparison between the regular and the Super.
