Norev reproduces the Opel Manta 400 rally car in 1:18 diecast, finished in white with Guy Fréquelin's period racing identity. The body is a sealed one-piece casting, so every panel line is cast rather than hinged. This is a new, unhandled model in New packaging, straight for the display case.
About the Opel Manta 400 G. Frequelin White Norev 1:18
TL;DR: Norev's 1:18 diecast Opel Manta 400 reproduces Guy Fréquelin's 1984 rally-specification car in white, cast as a sealed one-piece body with no moving panels. This is a new model in New packaging. The Manta 400 was Opel's Group B era rear-wheel-drive rally weapon.
Opel campaigned the Manta 400 through the Group B era as a rear-wheel-drive alternative to the four-wheel-drive machines increasingly dominating rallying at the time.
Diecast Precision on a Sealed Rally Body
With the body sealed shut, this casting communicates the Manta 400's flared arches and boxy rally kit entirely through its exterior surface, and a one-piece diecast shell holds those wide arch flares with tighter, more consistent lines than a hinged equivalent could manage. White paint sits evenly across the body, letting the racing graphics and Fréquelin's livery read clearly without a panel seam interrupting the design. Zinc alloy construction gives the model real weight despite its relatively compact rally proportions, and the wheel arches, roll cage silhouette visible through the glazing, and period sponsor decals are all cast and printed to a level that rewards close inspection. As a factory-fresh example in New packaging, the finish is exactly as intended.
A Rear-Wheel-Drive Holdout on a Group B Shelf
At around 20cm in 1:18, the Manta 400's compact, flared body takes a modest footprint while making a clear visual statement beside the four-wheel-drive Group B icons it competed against. For collectors building a Group B display, the Manta 400 tells a slightly different part of that story, and Fréquelin's association with Opel's rally programme gives this specific livery genuine period grounding rather than a generic repaint.
