Hot Wheels Turbo Streak - inspired by the Renault RE30B?

I always taught (before) that the Hot Wheels “Turbo Streak” casting was an Indycar (CART)....  the “First Edition”, a 1983 release, was still made in Hong Kong...

This first release has the shape and colors that bear a striking resemblance to the 1982 Renault RE30B.  Both have “elf", and “MICHELIN” too... the number is different (7 vs 15 or 16 for the real car)... but 7 is 1+6 hehehehe...
