Matchbox Super Chase 2026: Porsche 911 Rally, Jaguar XJ6C and Acura Integra Type R Explained
Quick answer: Three 2026 Matchbox Super Chase models are confirmed: the black 1985 Porsche 911 Rally (batch A), red 1977 Jaguar XJ6C (batch D) and 1997 Acura Integra Type R (batch G, in both LHD and RHD). One more is coming. Here is what to look for.
Matchbox’s rarest retail prize – the Super Chase – has its 2026 class confirmed, and it is a strong one: a rally-spec Porsche, a V12 Jag coupe and Honda’s most sacred hatchback.

The one causing the noise: 911 Rally
The black 1985 Porsche 911 Rally was revealed through the 2026 line preview circuit and immediately became the chase of the early year. Rally Porsches have a devoted following across every die-cast brand, and a blacked-out, extra-detailed version of an already-popular casting was always going to disappear. If you are building a rally corner, pair it with the pieces in our MBX Rally guide.
The quiet one: Integra Type R in both drives
The 1997 Acura Integra Type R Super Chase exists in both left and right-hand drive – a detail variation that effectively makes two chases out of one release. RHD examples will be the interesting ones for South African collectors, given our market’s RHD alignment.
Hunting from South Africa
Super Chases arrive inside ordinary cases – which here means whichever batches importers bring in. Practical approach: learn the standard versions from the 2026 mainline list so the upgrades jump out, check fresh case drops, and set alerts with importer-resellers around each US batch window.

Frequently asked questions
What are the 2026 Matchbox Super Chase cars?
Confirmed so far: the 1985 Porsche 911 Rally in black (batch A), the 1977 Jaguar XJ6C in red (batch D) and the 1997 Acura Integra Type R (batch G) with both left and right-hand drive variants. A fourth 2026 Super Chase is still to be confirmed.
How do I find a Matchbox Super Chase in South Africa?
They ride in ordinary retail cases, so check fresh Matchbox stock rather than picked-over pegs, and watch importer listings two to four months after each US batch. Most SA examples surface through resellers at a premium over the international $25-$85 range.
How rare is the 2026 Super Chase Porsche 911 Rally?
Matchbox does not publish odds, but Super Chases are scarcer than Hot Wheels Super Treasure Hunts – typically one per several master cases. The black 911 Rally with extra detail and Real Rider-style wheels is 2026's first and most talked-about Super Chase.
