About the Toyota Celica GT-Four ST165 #5 R. Verreydt / G. Biar Haspengouw Rally 1990 IXO 1:18

TL;DR: IXO's 1:18 diecast Toyota Celica GT-Four ST165 reproduces the #5 Verreydt/Biar entry from the 1990 Haspengouw Rally. As a diecast rather than resin build, it carries opening features typical of the format alongside the ST165's boxy Group A silhouette and period livery graphics.

The ST165 marked Toyota's first serious four-wheel-drive turbo rally weapon, and this Belgian club-rally entry offers a slice of that era beyond the works-team headlines.

Diecast Detailing on the IXO Celica GT-Four 1:18

Diecast construction typically brings opening doors and bonnet, and on a rally subject that means the turbocharged four-cylinder engine bay and roll-cage-equipped cabin become visible rather than hidden behind a sealed shell. The trade-off against resin is slightly wider panel tolerances, most noticeable around the bonnet shut line, but the ST165's boxy 1980s-into-1990s design tolerates that better than a curved supercar body would. The zinc-alloy weight is immediately obvious lifting the model from its packaging, and the rally lighting pods and mud flaps are cast as fixed details rather than separate add-ons, keeping the piece durable for handling during display changes.

The Celica GT-Four ST165 in Rallying Context

The ST165 ran through the late 1980s and into the early 1990s as Toyota built toward the Group A dominance the later ST185 and Celica GT-Four would achieve. Club and national rallies like Haspengouw supplied depth to the era's grids beyond the factory World Rally Championship entries, and liveries like #5 here give collectors a way to represent that broader competition landscape rather than only the headline works cars. For anyone building a Toyota rally progression, an early ST165 entry sits naturally before the ST185's championship-winning years.

Fitting This Rally Diecast Into a Display

At 1:18, the Celica's compact rally stance works well grouped by decade or by manufacturer, and its boxy proportions read clearly on a shelf even from a few feet back, which matters for cars whose liveries carry small sponsor detailing. Judge panel-gap consistency against the price tier rather than against premium resin builds, and keep opening panels closed most of the time to preserve hinge tension over years of ownership. This is a solid entry point for a Toyota-focused rally collection.
