About the Mitsubishi Carisma GT Group N2 R. Burns / R. Reid RAC Rally 1997 White Otto 1:18

TL;DR: Otto Mobile's 1:18 resin Mitsubishi Carisma GT Group N2 recreates Richard Burns and Robert Reid's 1997 RAC Rally car in White. Sealed resin captures rally-spec bodywork and graphics from the era before Mitsubishi's WRC programme centred on the Lancer Evo.

Before the Lancer Evolution became Mitsubishi's default rally weapon, the Carisma GT carried the brand's colours on British gravel, driven by a young Richard Burns partnered with Robert Reid.

Rally Graphics Held Sharp in Resin

The Carisma's mainstream saloon proportions, mudflaps, and rally-spec wheel arch extensions give this model a plainer starting shape than a purpose-built rally coupe, and Otto Mobile's sealed resin construction keeps that bodywork's straight lines and the applied sponsor graphics crisp across the doors and rear quarters. White paint carries the period Mitsubishi Ralliart-adjacent livery without the seam interruptions a diecast opening bonnet would introduce along the panel edges. There is no access to an interior roll cage or engine bay on this sealed piece, a fair trade for the tight graphic registration that a rally livery this detailed depends on.

Burns and Reid Before the Evo Era

Richard Burns, still building toward the World Championship he would eventually win with Subaru, drove for Mitsubishi through the mid-to-late 1990s alongside co-driver Robert Reid, a partnership that would later become one of the most successful pairings in world rallying. The Carisma GT, run under Group N regulations, represented Mitsubishi's WRC effort before the Lancer Evolution took over that role fully, making this a lesser-remembered but genuinely significant chapter in Burns's rise. The RAC Rally, Britain's home round of the championship, gives this particular entry added resonance for UK collectors tracing Burns's career, a driver whose home-soil results always carried extra weight with British rally followers.
