Assembled collector's model that reproduces the version of the BMW M3 E30 group A with which Marc Duez participated in the 1993 Belgian Procar Championship, achieving several victories and the final third position in the classification.

Before the appearance of the Calibra, Opel began its participation in the German DTM with the powerful, but also bulky and heavy Opel Omega Evo. In addition to the official team, several private teams had units of the German manufacturer's new weapon, as was the case of the Schübel team, which also had the always attractive Jagermeister colours. It was not a great season in terms of results for Opel, as demonstrated by the fact that only with his sixth place in the second round of the race held on the Alemannenring circuit did Peter Oberndorfer manage to stay ahead of the “official” drivers in the final championship standings.

Regardless of whether the BMW M3 E30 is becoming a cult model, there are even more special and essential versions for collectors of the brand. The need to homologate new elements for its Group A versions forced BMW to launch the Sport Evo version of the M3, of which only 600 units were manufactured between the months of December 1989 and March 1990. This version was differentiated by its front spoiler and rear spoiler both adjustable, its thinner windows and its smaller fuel tank, all with a view to reducing the weight of the car and improving its aerodynamic configuration possibilities on the track. The Sport Evo version is also distinguished by its decorative strip on the bumpers.

With this version Peugeot had two main objectives. The first, to have an intermediate version between the GT version and the powerful GTI, and the second, and perhaps more important, to launch an affordable version for those drivers with sporting pretensions, but for whom the GTI was not accessible due to price. Without a doubt, the recipe became a commercial success. The Rallye, with its evocative name, was only available in Meije white, which also extended to the 13-inch sheet metal wheels. The stripes with the colors of the Peugeot Talbot Sport were an indication of what the 205 Rallye, with its 103 horsepower and weight of 805 kilos, was capable of doing in curved areas where the handbrake became a very useful tool.

In the eighties the three letters 'GTI' meant the holy grail of automobiles and that of drivers with sporty tastes. The arrival of the 1.9L and 130 horsepower engine made the Peugeot 205 GTI one of the most desired and popular models among sports car fans.

Collectible model car of the BMW M3 E36, which not only had incredible features, but was also beautiful, as demonstrated when it obtained the title of "most beautiful car of the year 1991". This model comes finished in the traditional and exclusive BMW Estoril Blue color.

The R34 is nothing more and nothing less than the tenth generation of the Skyline. This model, famous for its appearances in films such as the Fast & Furious saga, comes finished in the beautiful Bayside Blue color.

Despite "only" finishing in eighth position, the Porsche 935 “Moby Dick” driven by Manfred Schurti and Rolf Stommelen became a legend at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Wearing the famous Martini Racing colors, the 935/78 was an icon of how far the Group 5s could go, competing head-to-head with the Group 6 prototypes.

The Aston Martin DB5, especially if it is finished in Silver Brich, always reminds us of its scenes with the most famous secret agent. But beyond this, the DB5 is also for many the brand's most emblematic model and one of the most beautiful English cars ever made.

Since 2017, nine-time World Champion Sébastien Loeb has competed in his Peugeot 306 Maxi one or two races a year. In 2021, on the occasion of the Mont-Blanc Rally, the 306 Maxi had a new look with a much more modern decoration under the colours of a well-known energy drink brand.

In January 2022, the World Rally Championship changed its regulations, replacing the WRCs with the new “Rally1” cars, giving rise to the hybrid era. But what did not change were the protagonists of the victory, Sébastien Loeb and Sébastien Ogier. After a magnificent battle between “the two Sebs”, Loeb ended up winning the 2022 Monte Carlo Rally, achieving his eighth victory in Monte-Carlo, in which it was also his first rally driving the Ford and in his first rally with Isabelle Galmiche as co-pilot. A historic moment in many ways!

Perhaps because they are built with more logic and less from passion, some of the Japanese supercars do not have the same cachet as the models of some other supercar brands, but what is widely demonstrated is that at the level of performance, the Japanese have nothing to envy the most renowned European models. And the Nissan GT-R, heir to the almighty Skyline, equipped with a powerful 3.8-liter biturbo V6 engine, was a monster. The kit contains approximately 515 plastic and metal parts, all of them pre-painted and ready to be assembled. Once the assembly is completed, the doors open revealing their interior, as does the engine hood and the trunk lid. As is usual in Ixo Collections models, it has functions to control the engine sound and the activation of the front and rear lights. An exceptional reproduction with extreme attention to detail.
