Hi all,

I recently bought a set of die cast cars which contained one Hot Wheels model which can be placed on a starter box which charges the car so it drives a certain time by it's own.
I thought it might be a Hot Wheels Sizzlers model but I think it's not. The starter box, as I call it, looks very different than the old Sizzler starters. It's a red block, looking like a soap with a deepening and two contacts in/on which the car is placed. When being placed on the contacts the starter station powers up the cars which then accelerates. When being taken out of the station the car then runs along the toy lanes - or on the ground - as long as it's power lasts.

Now I'm trying to figure out to which series this model belongs to.
Unfortunately there is not hint on the car or the box which makes it so difficult.
I know that there had been Sizzlers series in the mid 70s and a relaunch in 2006. But for the 2006 edition I cannot find any pictures to compare if it's what I'm looking for.

Does anyone in here have an idea and can help me out ?
