About the Opel Manta 400 Homologation White Revell 1:18

TL;DR: Revell's 1:18 Opel Manta 400 is a white diecast replica of the Group B homologation coupe, with opening doors and bonnet revealing the engine bay. This used model's box shows traces of storage, the casting itself unaffected. A less common European rally homologation subject.

Opel rarely gets the rally-homologation attention Audi and Lancia receive, which makes Revell's Manta 400 a genuinely different addition to a Group B collection.

Revell's Diecast Build and Opening Panels

Zinc alloy construction gives this Manta genuine weight for its coupe proportions, and both doors and the bonnet open on the model. Lifting the bonnet reveals a purposeful engine bay layout, reflecting the reworked mechanicals Opel needed to satisfy homologation requirements for competition use. Panel gaps run at the wider end typical of mainstream diecast tooling, and the interior stays fairly simple, but the flared arches, boxy coupe roofline and subtle homologation-specific bodywork changes over a standard Manta are captured with genuine care, and the white finish carries an even, consistent gloss.

The Manta 400's Homologation Purpose

Opel built the Manta 400 specifically to meet homologation requirements for Group B and Group 2 rallying, widening the arches and reworking the mechanicals of the standard road-going Manta to create a legal basis for its works rally programme. That competition-first brief made the Manta 400 a genuinely different car from the coupe most buyers knew, and it briefly gave Opel a credible presence in an era of rallying otherwise dominated by Audi, Lancia and Peugeot's more famous homologation specials.

A Distinctive Subject for a European Rally Shelf

This is a used model, and the box shows traces of storage typical of a piece that has already spent time in a collection; the casting itself carries no such marks. Displayed alongside Audi Quattros or Lancia rally homologation specials, this Manta 400 adds a genuinely underrepresented manufacturer to the era's story, broadening a Group B display beyond the usual headline names.
