About the Audi Quattro #5 H. Mikkola / A. Hertz 1000 Lakes Rally 1982 IXO 1:18

TL;DR: IXO's 1:18 diecast reproduces the #5 Audi Quattro driven by Hannu Mikkola and Arne Hertz at the 1982 1000 Lakes Rally, in Audi's Group B-era livery. This is a new model in a new box, built as a sealed one-piece body. A rally-history anchor piece.

Few rally cars changed the sport as fast as the Audi Quattro, and IXO's 1:18 diecast captures a specific, documented moment in that story: the Mikkola/Hertz entry at the 1982 1000 Lakes Rally.

The Audi Quattro That Changed Rallying

The Audi Quattro arrived in the World Rally Championship at the start of the 1980s and rewrote the sport's rulebook by proving that permanent four-wheel drive, borrowed from Audi's road-car engineering, could dominate loose-surface stages against rear-drive cars that had ruled rallying for decades. Hannu Mikkola was one of the drivers who made that case most convincingly, pairing with co-driver Arne Hertz through a run of results that culminated in Mikkola's World Rally Championship title the following year. The 1000 Lakes Rally in Finland was one of the calendar's signature fast-gravel events, famous for its jumps and flat-out sections, and an Audi Quattro campaigning there in 1982 represents the car mid-stride in the transformation it was forcing on the sport.

IXO's Sealed-Body Rally Livery Diecast

IXO builds this Quattro as a fixed one-piece diecast body, which suits a rally livery well: the roof-mounted lighting, the door graphics, and the sponsor markings all sit on continuous, unbroken surfaces without any panel seams cutting through the artwork. Livery accuracy is the real test on a rally replica, and the tampo-printed graphics carrying the car number hold sharp edges rather than blurring at the panel lines. Rally-spec details like the auxiliary lights and flared arches are cast into the body rather than fitted separately, a construction approach that keeps the whole shape rigid. As a new model in a new box, it arrives ready for display without any condition caveats.

A Group B Anchor for a Rally Collection

For anyone building out a Group B or early World Rally Championship display, this Quattro fills a specific, well-documented slot: the Mikkola/Hertz pairing, the 1982 season, and the 1000 Lakes event give the piece a concrete place in a chronology. Grouped with other Group B cars from the same era, its flared arches sit naturally beside the period's other homologation specials. Since the body is sealed, the details worth checking are the crispness of the graphics and the glazing fit.
