About the Subaru Impreza 555 #5 C. Sainz / L. Moya Tour de Corse 1995 IXO 1:18

TL;DR: IXO's 1:18 diecast Subaru Impreza 555 recreates car #5 from the 1995 Tour de Corse, driven by Carlos Sainz and Luis Moya. The zinc alloy body is a sealed one-piece casting carrying the celebrated blue-and-yellow 555 livery. A cornerstone piece for any WRC Classic shelf.

The Subaru Impreza in 555-sponsored livery became one of rallying's most instantly recognisable liveries, and Carlos Sainz's involvement adds real weight given his status as a multiple World Rally Champion driving one of the sport's defining cars.

Diecast Detail on a Defining 1990s Livery

This Impreza is built as a fixed, one-piece zinc alloy shell, and the model's success rests heavily on how accurately it reproduces the 555 livery's precise blue base and yellow graphic elements. Diecast handles this kind of high-contrast, widely recognised paint scheme with strong, consistent colour separation across the production run, and because the body has no opening panels, every bit of that livery fidelity plays out on the exterior: scribed panel lines stay tight along the flared arches, the front bumper's driving lamps are picked out cleanly, and the Sainz and Moya competition graphics sit correctly registered. The Impreza's boxy, purposeful mid-1990s shape suits diecast's strength for angular surfacing, giving the model a confident, well-defined presence at 1:18.

A Genuine WRC Icon for a Rally Collection

This Impreza anchors a WRC Classic display convincingly given both the livery's iconic status and Sainz's championship pedigree, and pairing it with the sister #6 car from the same Tour de Corse event builds a satisfying two-car set from a single race. At 1:18 the Impreza's boxy saloon proportions give it a strong, confident footprint on a shelf, distinct from the more rounded shapes of earlier rally eras. Diecast models of this celebrated subject remain accessible relative to resin alternatives, and the 555 livery's enduring popularity means this is one of the more instantly recognisable pieces in any WRC-themed collection.
