Some Gems In Today’s AUTOart Delivery

19th March 2008

posted in Diecast, Other Cars |

Today we had a new AUTOart delivery, with the highlight undoubtedly being a new 1:18 subject of my favourite AUTOart replica, the Aston Martin DBR9. This one is the stunning Red Bull liveried version that won the Mugello round of the 2006 FIA GT Championship in the hands of Karl Wendlinger and Philipp Peter (AA80608). One of those is coming home with me tonight! I also really hope that AUTOart will replicate the DBR9 with the Gulf livery from this year’s Le Mans 24 Hours as well.

Also on the delivery in 1:18 scale was the Lotus Exige S2 in silver (AA75361), while in 1:43 we received all three colourways of the Koenigsegg CCX; orange (AA59001), black (AA59002) and silver (AA59003). The Koenigseggs also all come with a separate roof panel provided.

Does the aston martin come with a sealed body? If it does, I surely would like to know whose idea this was..
Anyway, keep up the good work!

Assen bike - we’ve been given no information on a possible release date, and I think the absolute earliest we will see it is the autumn.

DBR9 - It does have a ’sealed bodyshell’, which personally I don’t mind so much, as it keeps the cost down (£54.99 is very reasonable for a 1:18 these days, and for an AUTOart at that), and I’ve never been one for displaying a replica with all of its ‘opening bits’ open!
