About the Ford Escort WRC Martini Racing #18 G. Cunico / G. Pirollo Rally San Remo 1998 IXO 1:18

TL;DR: IXO's 1:18 diecast Ford Escort WRC recreates the #18 Martini Racing entry driven by Cunico and Pirollo at the 1998 Rally San Remo. Wide arches and Martini's distinctive stripes make it a striking centrepiece for a WRC-era Ford rally collection.

The Escort WRC represented Ford's world rally challenger of the late 1990s, and this San Remo entry carries one of the era's most recognisable liveries alongside the car's competition-specific bodywork.

Reproducing a WRC-Era Rally Car

The widened arches, roof scoop and pronounced rally suspension travel are all part of what made the Escort WRC look purposeful next to the road car it was based on, and IXO's diecast captures that stance well at 1:18. The Martini stripes run cleanly across bonnet and doors, a livery famous enough that any wandering line or mismatched colour would be immediately obvious to collectors who know it. Rally-specific details like auxiliary lamps, mud guards and gravel-spec wheels separate this from a road-going Escort model, and the diecast body carries typical solid weight. Panel gaps and shut lines hold up reasonably well for the tier.

Placing the Escort WRC in a Rally Collection

The 1998 season sat within the height of the World Rally Championship's factory battles, and a San Remo entry specifically ties this model to one of the era's classic tarmac events rather than a generic gravel stage. At 1:18 the Escort's rally-modified footprint, wider and more aggressive-looking than a standard road Escort, gives it real shelf presence next to other WRC-era Fords, Subarus and Toyotas from the same period. For collectors chasing a specific 1990s WRC theme, this Martini-liveried piece is a strong, well-known choice, and it rewards display next to period rivals from the same championship rather than standing alone.
