About the Audi Quattro #3 H. Mikkola / A. Hertz Rally Finland 1982 IXO 1:18

TL;DR: IXO's 1:18 diecast Audi Quattro reproduces car #3, driven by Hannu Mikkola and co-driver Arne Hertz at the 1982 Rally Finland, as a new model with a sealed one-piece body. The Quattro's four-wheel-drive layout changed rallying permanently, and this replica captures that period-correct livery through crisp exterior detail.

Audi's Quattro proved that four-wheel drive belonged in top-level rallying, and Hannu Mikkola's driving through the early 1980s helped establish that revolution on some of the sport's toughest gravel and forest stages, Rally Finland among them.

IXO's Diecast Recreation of Car #3

The zinc alloy body holds the Quattro's boxy, flared silhouette with genuine weight, and the sealed one-piece construction lets the period livery read as a single unbroken surface, with racing numbers, sponsor decals and Audi's distinctive rings sitting crisply against the body under a display lamp. The wide arches that housed the Quattro's rally suspension setup are moulded into the casting with the confident precision diecast tooling holds well on flat-panelled 1980s shapes. This is a new model in new packaging, so the livery and paintwork arrive exactly as produced, with no handling history to consider.

A Genuine Turning Point in Rally History

The Quattro's success forced every rival manufacturer to reconsider four-wheel drive, permanently altering the technical direction of world rallying and giving this replica a place in motorsport history that goes well beyond a single event result.

An Anchor Piece for a Group B Collection

This model sits at the heart of any Group B or early-1980s WRC display, its historical significance and period-correct livery making it a natural centrepiece rather than a supporting subject.
