About the Volvo 240 Turbo #1 P. Stureson IPS Motorsport DTM 1986 Minichamps 1:43

TL;DR: Minichamps' 1:43 diecast Volvo 240 Turbo reproduces P. Stureson's #1 IPS Motorsport livery from 1986 touring car competition. A boxy, unmistakable racer that stands apart from the rounder machinery typical of the era's touring car grids.

Few racing silhouettes are as immediately recognizable as a turbocharged Volvo estate-derived sedan going sideways through a corner, and this diecast captures exactly that unlikely charm.

An Unlikely Racer, Faithfully Reproduced

The 240's upright, slab-sided body couldn't be further from the aerodynamic touring cars that would follow it, and Minichamps' 1:43 diecast leans into that boxy honesty rather than smoothing the proportions into something more conventional. IPS Motorsport's livery, with its sponsor decals across the doors and roof, prints with the sharp edges this manufacturer's motorsport catalog is known for, and the wide fender flares needed to cover racing rubber are cast as distinct, flared additions rather than blended into the body. It is a genuinely fun subject to have reproduced this accurately.

Volvo's Surprising Touring Car Success

Turbocharged 240s found real competitiveness in European touring car racing during the mid-1980s, an unlikely success story for a car better known for safety and durability than speed. IPS Motorsport was among the teams campaigning the car during this period, part of a wider field of manufacturer-based touring cars that defined the era before more homogenized regulations took hold. For a DTM-era or 1980s touring car shelf, this Volvo adds welcome variety alongside the more predictable German and Italian entries.
