We don’t hear much from the Exoto team, but this morning a new project was unveiled, XCU 1:10. What does this mean? What does the photo really reveal? Could there be a future new complete model car or typical “birdcage” replica of the past? Also the scale moves from the favored 1:18 to 1:10. Only time will tell… DiecastSociety.com will be there when it does.
Product# TBD
Well this is surprising. Most of us have given up hope on Exoto producing any new models. 1:10 is also an odd decision. The only 1:10 I would be interested in their long-ago-announced Sauber C9 and Ferrari 641.2, but this “XCU” does not look like the spaceframe of the C9.
And if it does happen to be just a spaceframe and not a full model, then no thanks.
Looks just like a Porsche 917 chassis to me.
You may be on to something. The curvature of the front windscreen, the position of the rear window, the short and simple front end. But, I don’t get what looks like a diagonal cross piece over where the engine would be. . .
