About the Mercedes E-Class #5 Team Auto Motor und Sport Rally Paris-Peking 2007 Minichamps 1:43

TL;DR: Minichamps' 1:43 diecast reproduces car number 5, the Auto Motor und Sport entry in the 2007 Paris-Peking rally raid, built on the Mercedes E-Class W211 platform. Auto Motor und Sport is a well-known German motoring publication, and its livery covers the sealed zinc alloy body in place of a factory team scheme.

German motoring magazine Auto Motor und Sport put its name on more than headlines when it backed an E-Class entry for the 2007 Paris-Peking rally raid. Minichamps captures that publication-branded livery on car number 5, the raid-spec sedan built to survive a route far rougher than any road test.

Car Number 5 and the Auto Motor und Sport Livery

A German Motoring Magazine on the Entry List

Auto Motor und Sport has covered German cars and motorsport for decades, and its sponsorship of a Paris-Peking entry reflects a publication willing to put its editorial reputation on the line in the field rather than only from the press box. The E-Class underneath, the W211 generation, received the same raid preparation as its sister entries: raised suspension, underbody protection, and auxiliary lighting for driving through conditions the sedan was never designed to handle. Car number 5 ran alongside other raid-spec entries on the same event, each carrying its own sponsor identity across an otherwise similar mechanical package.

Sponsor Graphics Printed at 1:43

Minichamps prints the magazine's masthead and supporting sponsor logos as tampo graphics rather than applied decals, keeping the lettering flat against the body and legible at a glance. The registration holds tight enough that even secondary sponsor marks along the lower doors stay crisp under close inspection. Raised ride height and driving lamps are molded directly into the body, so the raid silhouette reads correctly without relying on separate applied parts that could shift or loosen with handling over time.

Minichamps' Small-Scale Diecast Approach

Sealed Body, Sharp Shut Lines

This E-Class arrives as a sealed, one-piece zinc alloy casting, the standard construction at 1:43 and a deliberate choice rather than a shortcut. Doors, hood, and trunk are all molded into the shell, which lets Minichamps hold tighter, more even gaps along the shut lines than a body built with working hinges could manage. Running a fingertip along the door seam finds one continuous groove rather than a joint with play in it, a small but telling sign of casting quality at this scale.

Stance and Wheel Fidelity

The zinc alloy body carries genuine weight for its size, immediately noticeable when it comes off its display stand. Wheels are molded with off-road-pattern tread and mounted at the raised ride height the raid preparation actually called for, rather than the standard sedan stance. Paint depth holds evenly across the body panels, interrupted cleanly where the sponsor graphics take over, with no bleed or blur at the color transitions.

Building a Rally Raid Shelf

Displayed next to car number 3's Team eBay livery, this Auto Motor und Sport entry rounds out a small but coherent pair from the same 2007 rally raid, two sponsor identities on one raid-spec platform. At 1:43, both fit comfortably along a single shelf run without demanding the space a larger scale would need. For a collector already working through European touring or GT themes, a rally-raid pair like this adds a genre most catalogs represent thinly, and it rewards the kind of collector who values context over headline names.
