About the Toyota Celica GT-Four ST185 #1 J-M. Latvala / J. Hussi Rally Costa Brava 2025 IXO 1:18

TL;DR: IXO's 1:18 diecast Toyota Celica GT-Four ST185 reproduces the #1 Latvala/Hussi car from Rally Costa Brava 2025, dressing Toyota's title-winning early-1990s WRC platform in a modern historic-rally livery. Diecast construction delivers honest weight and crisp panel lines for display alongside other Group A rally machinery.

Rally regularity events keep classic WRC machinery on the road decades after the works teams moved on, and the Celica GT-Four ST185 is exactly the sort of car that belongs there. This IXO replica captures a fresh outing for an old warrior.

IXO's Diecast Approach to Rally Liveries

IXO has built a catalogue around rally and racing subjects at accessible price points, and the Celica GT-Four shows the approach clearly. Zinc alloy construction gives the model honest heft against a shelf of lighter promotional pieces, and the rally graphics are printed rather than stickered, keeping panel lines clean under the livery. The boxy ST185 silhouette, with its wide arches and roof-mounted scoop, translates well to diecast because the shape relies on flat surfaces and hard edges rather than compound curves. At 1:18 the footprint sits comfortably alongside other Group A machinery, roughly matching a period hatchback's real-world proportions scaled down.

The Celica GT-Four ST185's WRC Pedigree

The ST185 carried Toyota through its most dominant WRC spell, with Carlos Sainz taking the drivers' title in 1992 and Juha Kankkunen repeating the feat in 1993. That era established the shape as one of the defining silhouettes of Group A rallying, all flared bodywork and roof scoop feeding the turbocharged four-cylinder underneath. Seeing a car from that generation still competing at a modern historic event, in fresh #1 livery, ties directly back to that championship pedigree rather than treating the ST185 as a museum piece.

A Modern Historic Outing for a Title-Winning Shape

This replica works best positioned as a bridge between eras: a title-winning silhouette still earning its keep at contemporary rallies rather than resting on past results. Set beside period-liveried ST185s or alongside newer WRC cars, it makes a clear point about how long this shape has stayed competitive on rally roads. For a Toyota or Group A themed cabinet, it is a genuinely current entry rather than a nostalgia piece.
