Audi A4 B5 #4 P. Vidali STW Cup 1998 Minichamps 1:43
Audi A4 B5 #4 P. Vidali STW Cup 1998 Minichamps 1:43
1/4
Minichamps' 1:43 diecast reproduces car #4, P. Vidali's Audi A4 B5 from the 1998 STW Cup, the German touring car series that filled the gap between DTM's original run and its later revival. Race livery, sponsor graphics and the A4's boxy touring silhouette are all captured in diecast form.
About the Audi A4 B5 #4 P. Vidali STW Cup 1998 Minichamps 1:43
TL;DR: Minichamps' 1:43 diecast Audi A4 B5 #4 reproduces P. Vidali's 1998 STW Cup entry, Audi Sport's factory-backed touring car racer from the German series that bridged DTM's original run and its later revival. Race livery and the A4's boxy touring silhouette are worked into an accurate small-scale casting.
The STW Cup carried German touring car racing through the years between DTM's original demise and its 2000 relaunch, and Audi's factory A4 programme was a genuine highlight of that period.
Minichamps' Livery Detailing on a 90s Touring Racer
The A4 B5's boxy, upright touring silhouette is a world away from modern DTM's swooping bodywork, and Minichamps captures that period-correct stance without trying to smooth it into something more contemporary. Car #4's sponsor graphics and race numbering sit legibly on the diecast bodywork even at 1:43, and the flared touring-car arches over standard saloon proportions are rendered with the crisp definition period racing liveries demand. The result is a genuinely period-accurate small-scale racer rather than a generic touring car silhouette with a number stuck on.
The STW Cup and Audi's Factory Touring Car Push
Audi Sport's backing gave the A4 genuine works-team credibility in the STW Cup, a series that kept German touring car competition alive through a genuinely awkward gap in the sport's history. For a collector building a 90s touring car display, this piece documents a less-celebrated but historically real chapter, worth a place alongside the more famous DTM machinery that came before and after it.
