About the Volvo 240 Turbo Nordica #1 J. Cecotto / A. Olafsson ETCC Brno 1986 IXO 1:18

TL;DR: IXO's 1:18 diecast Volvo 240 Turbo Nordica reproduces car #1 driven by Johnny Cecotto and Anders Olafsson at ETCC Brno 1986. The sealed body captures the 240's boxy shape in full period touring car livery.

The Volvo 240 Turbo remains one of touring car racing's more unlikely successes, a boxy family estate-derived saloon turned genuine Group A contender.

Capturing a Boxy Shape in Sealed Diecast

With no opening panels, the body reads as a single continuous form, which suits the 240's flat, angular panels well: there is little compound curvature here for a fixed shell to compromise, so the diecast tooling holds sharp, confident creases along the car's straightforward bodywork. The Nordica sponsor livery is tampo-printed across the flanks with the precision needed to keep period branding legible, and the wide arches and front splitter added for the car's Group A homologation are picked out clearly against the base colour.

The 240 Turbo's Place in Touring Car History

Cecotto brought genuine credibility to Volvo's touring car programme, and results through the mid-1980s European Touring Car Championship gave the boxy 240 an unlikely reputation as a serious competitor against far sportier-looking rivals. This model rewards a collector building a Group A or ETCC-era display precisely because it's such an atypical entrant: most touring car diecast collections lean toward BMWs and Fords, and a period Volvo stands out by contrast. At 1:18, it takes a modest, upright footprint that suits mixed 1980s touring car shelves well.
