REVIEW: Minichamps Audi RS6 Avant C7 Dealer Edition

You are all aware of my passion for the Audi brand, and the relative lack of available ‘S’ and ‘RS’ models in 1:18 scale. Late in 2014 Minichamps released another dealer edition piece, the Audi RS6 Avant C7, which was released in Misano Red and Matt Black/Grey. The Red unfortunately for me sold out rather quickly, but fast forward to Continue Reading...

Minichamps New Releases – Week 3, 2015

Not a hell of a lot going on at Minichamps for Week 3, 2015. The Opel GT 1900 in Metallic Green is the only 1:18 scale piece to note. Model is diecast and features opening doors and access to the motor. Two other 1:43 models were announced: the 2013 BMW M3 DTM, BMW Team RBM, driven by Augusto Farfus; and Continue Reading...

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. Current number of Audi TT scale models sits at seven, so obviously I jumped on the chance to add the Minichamps Dealer Edition MKIII TT. Continue Reading...

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”. Continue Reading...

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. Shortly after its release I purchased one. The design is definitely seeing some Audi influence, but for the most part, what we have here is a Porsche. As for performance, Continue Reading...

REVIEW: Minichamps Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Coupe Black Series

Words courtesy of Wes Shakirov / StratosWRC I’m a sucker for AMG cars. They inject something intangibly exciting into the clinical, sterile, business-like German demeanor that permeates Mercedes cars. Having deliberated quite literally for hours about the colour to go with on this car – it comes in black as well, in case you’re wondering – I eventually chose Continue Reading...

REVIEW: Minichamps Lamborghini Gallardo LP 600+ GT3

I just recently announced this new model from the Minichamps brand on DiecastSociety.com news feed; a 1:18 scale, Lamborghini Gallardo LP 600+ GT3 presentation car. The initial release was featured in Matt Black, followed a week later by Green, and their latest effort in White. I fell in love with the green at first sight, and since I was in the Continue Reading...

REVIEW: Minichamps DE Porsche 911 (991) Turbo S

Very little from Minichamps excites me lately, but along comes a new model, the Porsche 911 (991) Turbo S. The dealer edition is a limited run of 1000 pieces. Some may ask what makes a dealer edition different. Well, for one, the limited production and a unique colour. This one is covered in factory Agate Grey. Also, different exterior packaging, and front Continue Reading...
