Minichamps' 1:18 resin Maserati Mistral reproduces the Pietro Frua-styled coupe in red, a bolder alternative to the black version of the same 1963 model. Sealed resin construction holds the coupe's tapered tail and low glasshouse with crisp precision.
TL;DR: This Minichamps 1:18 resin model reproduces the Maserati Mistral in red, the straight-six coupe styled by Pietro Frua and dated to 1963. Sealed resin construction favours the car's tapered tail and low glasshouse over opening features, in a bolder finish than the marque's more common darker tones.
Where black lets a Mistral's lines recede into shadow, red pushes every curve forward, and Frua's design rewards that kind of attention.
A Bolder Resin Finish on Frua's Design
Red is a less common choice on the Mistral than the darker tones the model more often wears, and it changes how the coupe's proportions read: the long bonnet and narrowing tail catch light differently, showing off the transition between those two surfaces more clearly than a darker colour would. Sealed resin construction lets Minichamps hold that continuous curve without a hinge line breaking the composition, an advantage that matters most on a shape this dependent on unbroken surfacing. Resin's lighter weight compared with diecast construction is worth expecting on handling, a fair trade for the sharper panel definition the sealed body delivers on this particular subject.
A Second Colourway Within the Same Wind-Named Family
The Mistral takes its name from the cold wind of the Rhône valley, part of Maserati's broader tradition of naming grand tourers after winds that would later extend to the Ghibli and Khamsin, and this red example represents the same 1963-1970 production run as the darker-toned version of the model. Collecting both colourways together says something genuine about how differently one design can present depending on finish, without needing a different chassis or specification to justify the comparison. On a Maserati-themed shelf, this red Mistral pairs naturally with its black sibling as a study in how colour alone changes a car's character.
