About the Peugeot 205 GTi Griffe With Window Roof Green Norev 1:18
TL;DR: Norev's 1:18 Peugeot 205 GTi Griffe in green is a diecast replica of the later, better-equipped GTi trim, notable for its glass window roof. Doors, bonnet and boot open, and the model carries the Griffe's added kit through to the casting detail.
As the 205 GTi matured through its production run, Peugeot added trim levels that layered on comfort without losing the car's sharp reputation, and the Griffe with its glass roof was one of the more distinctive of these. Norev's green diecast captures that later, slightly plusher variant.
Opening Features and the Griffe's Distinctive Detailing
Doors, bonnet and boot all operate, and the window roof detailing that gives this variant its name is cast into the model with genuine care, a feature that sets it apart from the standard-roof GTi at a glance. The hinges hold panels firmly in place when opened, and the shut lines close tight against the green paintwork, consistent with the fine tolerances Norev holds across its 205 GTi range. The Griffe badge and its extra brightwork are rendered with sharp definition rather than a soft, generalised finish.
The Griffe's Place in the 205 GTi Story
Peugeot introduced variants like the Griffe as the GTi range matured into the early 1990s, adding equipment and detail touches without diluting the driving character that made the car famous. For a collector building a full 205 GTi story, having the Griffe alongside earlier, plainer trims shows how the model evolved across its production life, a genuinely useful comparison to make in miniature.
Positioning This Piece in a Collection
At 1:18, this Griffe sits naturally beside other 205 GTi liveries, its window roof detail giving it a visual distinction worth pointing out to visitors browsing a shelf. Diecast weight and durable hinges mean the doors and boot can be shown open repeatedly without wear, a practical benefit for a piece that invites closer inspection. The green finish offers a useful contrast against the more common white and red 205 GTi colours seen in most collections.
