About the Mercedes C-Class W202 #6 Team Zakspeed K. Thiim DTM 1995 UT Models 1:18

TL;DR: UT Models' 1:18 diecast Mercedes C-Class W202 reproduces car #6 driven by Kurt Thiim for Team Zakspeed in the 1995 DTM season. Doors and bonnet open on this mid-1990s touring car icon.

Zakspeed's factory-backed Mercedes effort in the mid-1990s produced some of the era's most competitive touring car entries, and Thiim's #6 car was a genuine front-runner.

UT Models' Diecast Detail on the Zakspeed C-Class

Zinc alloy construction gives this race car real weight, and the doors and bonnet both open, revealing the stripped-out race cabin and prepared engine bay behind the Zakspeed sponsor livery. That livery is applied with the precision needed to keep sponsor branding legible at 1:18, and the C-Class's DTM-spec wide arches and front splitter, additions over the road-going saloon, are rendered with the crisp edges diecast tooling handles well on the car's compact bodywork.

The Thiim Zakspeed Car's DTM Significance

Mid-1990s DTM produced intensely competitive racing among Mercedes, Alfa Romeo and Opel factory teams, and Thiim's consistent form for Zakspeed made this a car regularly in contention. That period is a genuinely popular focus for German touring car collectors, since it represents DTM at arguably its technical and competitive peak before the series' late-90s restructuring. At around 20cm, this C-Class pairs naturally with other mid-1990s DTM entries, and the opening panels give a buyer a genuine look at the race-prepared engineering underneath the livery.
