About the Hyundai i20 N Rally1 #8 O. Tanak / M. Jarveoja Rally Monte Carlo Night Version 2025 IXO 1:18

TL;DR: IXO's 1:18 diecast Hyundai i20 N Rally1 recreates Ott Tänak and Martin Järveoja's #8 Hyundai Motorsport World Rally Car in its 2025 Monte Carlo night-stage livery. Cast as a sealed, one-piece zinc alloy body, it captures the Rally1 hybrid car's box-arch stance without opening panels, sized for a WRC-themed display shelf.

Rallye Monte-Carlo opens the WRC season each January, its stages running from dry Riviera tarmac to ice above the tree line, frequently after dark on the climbs above the Col de Turini. Hyundai Motorsport's Tänak and Järveoja crew tackles that unpredictable route in the i20 N Rally1, and this diecast catches the car in the livery built for the night sections.

IXO's Diecast Take on the Hyundai i20 N Rally1

One-Piece Body and Livery Printing

IXO casts the i20 N Rally1 as a sealed, one-piece zinc alloy body, so nothing on the shell opens: no bonnet lifts to show an engine bay, no boot lid drops to reveal a spare-wheel well built for gravel stages. That construction choice keeps the shut lines tight along the roof and sills, since there are no hinge tolerances to plan around, and it lets the printed livery run edge to edge without a seam breaking a sponsor logo mid-panel. The zinc alloy gives the model real heft in the hand, a density that plastic-bodied toy-grade rally cars simply cannot match, and the paint holds a deep, even gloss over the Hyundai Motorsport blue.

Aero Detail and Rally-Spec Stance

Rally1 regulations mandate box-arch fenders wider than the road-going i20 N, and IXO reproduces that flared bodywork along with the front splitter, roof-mounted air intake and rear wing that mark the current hybrid generation apart from the previous World Rally Car. The wheels sit within those arches on a rally-spec tread pattern suited to Monte Carlo's mixed dry and snow-covered stages, and the ride height reads noticeably taller than a tarmac-only touring car. None of it opens, but the stance alone tells a knowledgeable collector which regulation era this casting belongs to.

Tänak and Järveoja's #8 Entry for Hyundai Motorsport

Ott Tänak took the 2019 world title with a different manufacturer before settling into a long run with Hyundai Motorsport, and Martin Järveoja has called the pace notes beside him for most of that career. The #8 car identifies their entry within the wider Hyundai Motorsport lineup, distinct from any sister car run by a team-mate on the same event, and IXO's decal work reproduces that number along with the sponsor placement carried on the real bodywork. Monte Carlo rewards a crew who reads changing grip correctly stage to stage, since a single road can run dry in the valley and icy on the climb above it within the same loop. That variability is why the rally has always drawn strong entries and why a model tied to a specific livery, rather than a generic team colour scheme, holds more interest for a collector building a WRC season set. Hyundai's Rally1 hybrid unit adds a short burst of electric boost at stage starts, a rule shared across the class since 2022, and the i20 N Rally1 carries its battery housing high on the rear deck, a detail the sculpted bodywork picks out.

The Night Livery and Monte Carlo's Toughest Stages

Why Monte Carlo Runs After Dark

Monte Carlo has run night stages since its earliest editions, when competitors needed courage as much as car control on the climbs above Monaco with only headlamps for reference. The modern route keeps that reputation, threading roads that can be bone dry at the coast and sheeted in ice a few hundred metres higher, often on the same pass after sunset. Crews carry pace notes written for exactly these conditions, because a note written for dry tarmac becomes useless the moment the surface turns to compacted snow under headlights.

What the Night Livery Adds

IXO's night version highlights the auxiliary light pods mounted across the front bumper that every Rally1 car carries for stages run after dark, printing the lens detail and mounting brackets a crew relies on when the road ahead disappears above the tree line. Rally1 regulations permit this auxiliary lighting specifically for events like Monte Carlo that run through the night, and reproducing it is what separates a dedicated night-stage livery from a standard daylight-scheme casting of the same #8 car. For a collector, that distinction matters: it is a genuinely different piece tied to a specific stage condition, not a simple repaint, and it is the version most directly connected to Monte Carlo's identity as a rally run partly after sunset.

Positioning IXO's #8 Livery on a WRC Shelf

At 1:18, a hatchback-based Rally1 car like this comes out around 24 centimetres nose to tail once the box-arch fenders are counted, sitting comfortably among other Rally1-scale diecast on a standard cabinet shelf. IXO's position in the WRC diecast market sits closer to accessible than to the hand-built resin pieces some specialists produce for a handful of headline liveries each season, and the trade-off is straightforward: a sealed body and printed detail rather than an opening bonnet or a cast engine bay, in exchange for a price that supports building out a full season rather than a single hero car. For anyone tracking Tänak's career or Hyundai Motorsport's Rally1 programme round by round, that accessibility is the point. This #8 Monte Carlo night livery reads best next to its daylight-scheme sibling and the team-mate's car from the same round, a trio that tells the story of one rally weekend rather than one car.
