About the Volvo 240 Turbo IPS Racing Blaupunkt #1 P. Stureson DTM Zolder 1986 IXO 1:18

TL;DR: IXO's 1:18 diecast Volvo 240 Turbo #1 in Blaupunkt livery reproduces P. Stureson's 1986 DTM Zolder entry as a sealed one-piece body. Sharp graphics sit over the Volvo's distinctive boxy silhouette. A genuine rarity for a 1980s touring car collection.

The Volvo 240 Turbo remains one of touring car racing's more unlikely success stories, its upright, boxy shape defying expectations against far sleeker German rivals during the mid-1980s.

IXO's Diecast Rendition of the 240 Turbo Racer

This is a sealed, one-piece diecast body, a construction well suited to a heavily sponsored racing subject where continuous printed panels carry more visual weight than opening mechanisms. The Volvo's flared arches and boxy proportions, unusual among period touring car silhouettes, are cast with clean edges, and the IPS Racing Blaupunkt livery is applied with tight registration across the doors and roof. Zinc alloy construction gives the piece genuine weight, and the racing number and sponsor branding read sharply under close inspection. Panel gaps remain consistent around the fixed body, a benefit that comes from not needing hinge tolerances anywhere on the shell.

Per Stureson and the 1986 DTM Season

The Volvo 240 Turbo's success in period touring car racing, including strong DTM results, surprised a field dominated by BMW and Mercedes machinery, and its upright shape became an unlikely fan favourite precisely because it looked so unlike a typical racing car. Stureson's Zolder entry from 1986 captures the car during a period when Volvo's turbocharged saloon genuinely competed at the front, a footnote in touring car history that IXO's model preserves with genuine specificity rather than a generic livery.

A Distinctive Addition to a Touring Car Shelf

This model stands out immediately beside sleeker German touring cars from the same era, and that visual contrast is part of its appeal for a broad 1980s motorsport display. Collectors building a DTM-specific cabinet will find it a genuine conversation piece precisely because it looks so different from its rivals.
