REVIEW: Minichamps Audi TT Coupe MKIII – Dealer Edition

I’ve been a fan of the Audi brand, specifically the Audi TT coupe, since its introduction in the late 90s. I’ve personally owned the MKI TT Coupe and I’m currently enjoying the second generation TT-RS.

REVIEW: Minichamps Dealer Edition Porsche 918 Spyder

Words courtesy of Karsten Weiss Three years after its Porsche 918 Spyder Prototype Minichamps have released the production version of the hybrid sports car. The difference between the prototype and the production version is predominantly in the “top pipes” exhaust system, although its spectacular blue flames is not what Porsche mean when they advertise their 918 as “rocket science”.

REVIEW: Minichamps Porsche Macan Turbo (DE)

I have a slight fascination with SUVs in my collection, and I can’t really explain why. Recently, the Minichamps brand released a limited ‘dealer’ edition Porsche Macan Turbo in 1:18 scale.

REVIEW: Minichamps Porsche 911 Carrera 3.2

Words and photos courtesy of Sergiu (aka Playcars) / www.playcars.weebly.com Porsche 3.2 Carrera 911 represents an old Minichamps release, but which entered recently in my collection. I like the old releases from this manufacturer, not only because are representing original models, but for their superior quality and finishing as well.
