About the Volvo 240 Turbo #21 P. Stureson DTM Winner Wunstorf 1985 AUTOart 1:18

TL;DR: AUTOart's 1:18 diecast Volvo 240 Turbo carries P. Stureson's 1985 DTM race-winning livery from Wunstorf. The boxy Swedish saloon was an unlikely DTM front-runner, and this diecast reproduces its upright silhouette and sponsor graphics at a solid mid-tier build quality.

Volvo's turbocharged 240 was one of DTM's more surprising success stories in the mid-1980s, a boxy family saloon that regularly embarrassed sleeker rivals.

Casting a Distinctly Angular Subject

The 240's flat panels and upright glasshouse are, in some ways, easier to reproduce accurately than a curved coupe body, and AUTOart's diecast holds crisp, straight shutlines along the doors and boot that suit this angular shape well. The zinc alloy construction gives the model a dense, solid feel, noticeably heavier than a similarly sized plastic toy. Livery graphics, including race number and sponsor decals, are tampo-printed with clean edges against the Volvo's body colour, and the wheels carry a period-correct pattern rather than a generic substitute. As with most diecast at this tier, interior detail is kept simple and opening features, where present, trade some surface precision for mechanical access. The overall build quality sits comfortably within what a collector should expect from a mid-tier motorsport diecast of this era.

A Talking Point on Any DTM Shelf

Placed next to sleeker BMW or Mercedes DTM diecast from the same period, the 240 Turbo's boxy shape immediately stands out, which makes it a genuinely useful contrast piece rather than just another sedan. At 1:18, the estate-like proportions of the saloon take up a similar footprint to its rivals, so cabinet planning is straightforward. For collectors building a DTM manufacturer set, the Volvo fills a gap most rivals cannot: the underdog that actually won, giving the display a story worth telling to anyone who stops to look closer.
