About the Audi Avus Quattro Chrome Silver Revell 1:18
TL;DR: Revell's 1:18 diecast Audi Avus Quattro in chrome silver recreates the 1991 concept car, its bare polished-aluminum body named after Berlin's Avus racetrack. The design previewed styling cues that would later shape Audi's production supercars, making it a genuine influence piece rather than a forgotten show car.
A chrome finish is the only honest way to reproduce the Avus Quattro, since the real concept famously wore unpainted, polished aluminum bodywork rather than any conventional paint.
Chrome as the Correct Finish, Not a Stylistic Choice
Where a chrome finish on most production cars would look like a novelty upgrade, here it is the accurate reproduction of the Avus Quattro's actual bare-metal bodywork, a detail that made the original concept genuinely startling on the show circuit. Revell's diecast build renders the car's low, wide proportions and sharply creased surfacing with enough clarity to show why this shape influenced Audi's design language for years afterward. The finish rewards direct light, catching every curve exactly as the polished aluminum original was designed to.
A Concept That Shaped Audi's Future
Unveiled in 1991, the Avus Quattro paired a theoretical W12 engine layout with styling that would later echo through Audi's actual production supercars, making it more than a one-off design exercise quickly forgotten after its motor show debut. For a collector interested in concept-to-production design lineage rather than just finished road cars, the Avus Quattro is a genuinely significant subject, one that shows how a single show car's silhouette can ripple through a manufacturer's design decisions for years.
