Wiki says: The Oldsmobile Aurora was the last Oldsmobile flagship sedan before the brand was discontinued in 2004. Manufactured between 1994 to 2003, it was a luxury sports sedan produced in two generations. The Aurora was powered by a four-cam, 32-valve 4.0 L V8. The HW model represents the first generation (1995 - 1999).

The Hot Wheels version debuted as part of the Demolition Man Movie set of 9 cars, which were each sold individually packaged with a Park 'n Plates box. However, the box was called a Cryo-Cube. Along with the Pontiac Salsa, the Olds Aurora doesn't appear in the movie; the car is likely intended to substitute for the Cadillac Aurora concept which appeared in the movie.

The base features a rear differential on the base despite the fact the real car is front wheel drive. Some versions of the Aurora show it as a police car; this depiction is entirely fictional. Front-wheel-drive cars, even larger ones like the Aurora, were not popular with American police departments at that period, and Oldsmobile did not attempt to market the car as a police vehicle. Early releases of the casting feature copyright on the base pertaining to Warner Bros.; this was later changed to "Aurora".
