New Beemax kit for the Volvo 240 Turbo in its racing version. The kit includes two winning decorations, the first of the 1985 Inter TEC winner at Fuji, and the second belonging to the 1986 Macau winner.

Additional details for the Volvo 240 Turbo Group A car scale model kit:

In 1985 Volvo was proclaimed champion of the ETCC, the European Touring Car Championship, with the drivers Brancatelli/Lindström, obtaining 6 victories throughout the championship. The championship was not without controversy and the result was suspended for a few weeks. The reason, the homologation by Volvo of an evolved version of the 240 Turbo, which had a rear spoiler, a larger turbo, and an intercooler with water injection.

After the production of the 500 units required for homologation (of which 23 were thoroughly inspected), the remaining 477 units were stripped of their evolved elements and sold as conventional Volvo 240 Turbos. It was not an illegal operation, but it could be defined as inelegant compared to its competitors, who claimed against Volvo.

The FISA (International Automobile Federation) reacted in July, and after trying to buy a 240 Turbo Evolution in several European countries, which was unsuccessful, asked Volvo to provide the names of the 500 owners of the evolved cars. Volvo did not react at the time, but later, after the factory holidays, Volvo was able to launch a few units of the Evolution version in Sweden, which was enough for the FISA to file the claim, and consider valid the results of the championship (so it could be said that the homologation of the "Evolution" ended on September 1, 1985).

In addition to the European Championship, the Volvo 240 took part in many other events, such as the Macau races in 1985 and 1986, where it won two victories with Gianfranco Brancatelli and Johnny Cecotto respectively.

Beemax Model Kits was born as a brand specializing in 1/24 scale competition cars, both rally and circuit. Later it was renamed to Nunu, so their references are gradually being marketed under the new brand, but without losing an ounce of their quality!
