About the Ford Sierra RS500 Cosworth Texaco #67 K. Ludwig / K. Niedzwiedz / S. Soper 24 Hours of Nurburgring Winner 1987 IXO 1:18

TL;DR: IXO's 1:18 diecast Ford Sierra RS500 in Texaco livery recreates car #67, outright winner of the 1987 24 Hours of Nurburgring driven by Ludwig, Niedzwiedz and Soper. The zinc alloy body is a sealed one-piece casting with the RS500's flared arches. A genuine racing winner for a touring car shelf.

The Sierra RS500 was Ford's homologation special built specifically to dominate Group A touring car racing, and this Texaco entry backs up that intent with a class-leading endurance win at the Nurburgring.

Diecast Build Quality on the RS500's Boxed Arches

IXO casts this Sierra in zinc alloy as a fixed one-piece shell, and the metal's weight and rigidity suit the RS500's boxy, flared bodywork well: the pronounced wheel arch extensions and rear spoiler are captured as crisp, defined edges rather than softened curves. Because the panels are sealed, the entire fidelity story happens on the outside, and here that means tight scribed lines along the bonnet and boot, correctly sized arch flares that match the homologated bodywork, and a rear wing mounted at the right rake angle for the period. The Texaco livery is applied with sharp colour separation between the white base and the red and green sponsor graphics, with the #67 roundel and driver names legible at this scale. Diecast handles a livery this dense in decals better than a hand-painted resin equivalent tends to, since tampo printing keeps edges consistent across the whole run of models rather than varying piece to piece.

Group A Racing on the Shelf

This Sierra sits well within a Group A and Group B era touring car theme, especially paired with its sister entries from the same Nurburgring race or from Spa the same season, building a coherent picture of Ford's 1987 endurance campaign. At 1:18 the Sierra's compact three-door proportions and boxy wheel arches give it a distinct silhouette against longer saloon-based rivals, so it reads clearly even at a glance across a crowded shelf. Diecast racing models at this scale sit at an accessible price relative to resin race replicas, letting a collector build out a full grid of period liveries without the cost climbing too steeply. For anyone tracking the RS500's remarkable run of touring car silverware, this Texaco winner is a solid anchor piece.
