About the Opel Manta B Mattig Red MCG 1:18

TL;DR: MCG's 1:18 Opel Manta B Mattig in red is a sealed one-piece diecast casting of the widebody German tuner coupe. The fixed body carries the flared arches and aggressive tuning-culture silhouette entirely on its exterior surface, distinct from a standard Manta B.

Mattig's widebody conversions turned the already handsome Manta B into something far more aggressive, flaring the arches and lowering the stance in a way that captured German tuning culture's approach to a beloved 1970s and 1980s coupe shape.

Casting the Mattig Widebody Conversion

Zinc alloy diecast holds the Mattig conversion's dramatically flared arches with the solidity needed to make the widened stance look purposeful rather than bolted-on. MCG's body is a fixed one-piece shell, so the arch extensions and lowered sills stay structurally coherent, with the panel lines scribed cleanly into the metal rather than interrupted by hinges. Red paint sits evenly across the widened flanks, and the deeper front splitter and rear spoiler that mark out the Mattig treatment are moulded with enough definition to distinguish this build clearly from a standard Manta B. Wheel and tyre proportions are widened to match the flared arches, a detail that matters enormously on a tuner subject where stance is the whole point.

Placing a Tuner Manta in a German Coupe Collection

German tuning culture of the late 1980s and early 1990s produced some genuinely striking transformations of otherwise ordinary coupes, and the Mattig Manta B stands as one of the more visually dramatic examples. Displayed beside a standard Manta B, the difference the widebody treatment makes becomes immediately obvious, turning a comparison into a genuine story about tuning culture rather than just two similar cars. At 1:18, the flared stance gives it real presence, and the sealed body keeps the model simple to handle. For a collector interested in German tuner specials rather than factory-original coupes, this Manta is a genuinely distinctive addition.
