About the Audi Quattro #5 H. Mikkola / A. Hertz 1000 Lakes Rally 1982 IXO 1:18

TL;DR: IXO's 1:18 diecast Audi Quattro #5 reproduces the Hannu Mikkola and Arne Hertz entry from the 1982 1000 Lakes Rally as a sealed one-piece casting, with the livery and sponsor graphics carried on the exterior. This is a new model in new packaging, suited to a Group B rally display.

The Quattro changed rallying by putting four-wheel drive on a competition car for the first time, and this casting reproduces one of the works entries from Audi's early campaign, contested by Hannu Mikkola and Arne Hertz at Finland's 1000 Lakes Rally.

IXO's Sealed-Body Rendering of This Quattro Livery

The body is a fixed one-piece casting with no opening doors or bonnet, which suits a rally subject whose appeal lies almost entirely in its livery and stance rather than an accessible interior. Sponsor graphics, numbering and the period Audi rally colours all sit printed cleanly across a continuous shell, with sharp shutlines running the length of the body where an articulated casting would need visible seams instead. The wide arches and raised ride height that four-wheel-drive rally cars carried are reproduced in the stance, and that's the part worth studying closely: rally liveries live or die on how crisply the tampo printing registers against the panel lines beneath it.

Audi's Four-Wheel-Drive Rally Revolution

Before the Quattro, four-wheel drive was seen as too heavy and complicated for competition use, and Audi's decision to race it anyway rewrote the rulebook for the sport, launching what became the Group B era of dramatic, technology-driven rally cars. The 1000 Lakes Rally, run on Finland's fast, jumping gravel roads, was one of the toughest tests on the calendar for that new drivetrain, and factory entries like this one, crewed by Mikkola and Hertz, were part of the campaign that proved the concept could win.

Collecting This 1000 Lakes Quattro Alongside Group B Rivals

Arriving new and boxed, this model is ready for display without condition checks. Placed beside other early Group B entries, it tells the opening chapter of four-wheel-drive rallying, and its sealed body means it stores securely without hinges or panels to check over time. A strong addition to a Group B or Audi motorsport theme.
