About the Audi Avus Quattro Chrome Silver Revell 1:18

TL;DR: Revell's 1:18 diecast Audi Avus Quattro in chrome silver reproduces the 1991 concept car's actual unpainted, polished aluminium bodywork, not a special-edition finish. Diecast construction captures the concept's dramatically low, wedge-shaped stance. A genuinely design-significant Audi that never reached production.

The Avus Quattro's mirror-bright bodywork wasn't paint at all; Audi displayed the real 1991 concept in bare, polished aluminium, and Revell's chrome silver diecast reproduces that genuine, unpainted finish rather than inventing a special edition treatment.

A Chrome Finish That Represents the Real Concept Accurately

Unlike a special-edition chrome treatment applied for visual impact, this finish is genuinely accurate to the source: Audi's 1991 Avus Quattro concept appeared at its unveiling in bare, polished aluminium rather than any painted colour, a deliberate choice meant to showcase the material's lightweight construction potential. Revell's diecast reproduces that mirror-bright surface across the concept's dramatically low, wedge-shaped body, holding the reflective consistency that a chrome-plated finish demands.

The Avus Quattro's Unrealised Influence on Audi's Design

The Avus Quattro never reached production, but its influence on Audi's design language ran deep: elements of its aggressive, sculpted surfacing found their way into later Audi supercars and performance concepts, making it one of those show cars whose real legacy lies in what it inspired rather than what it became. Named after Berlin's historic Avus racing circuit, the concept combined a W12 engine concept with genuinely radical, low-slung proportions.

A Subject Rooted in Ambition, Not Sales

This Avus Quattro suits a shelf built around unrealised concepts or design-history significance, a genuinely striking subject that represents Audi's ambition rather than its showroom reality.
