About the Audi 225 Front Roadster Blue Silver CMC 1:18
TL;DR: This CMC 1:18 diecast reproduces the Audi 225 Front Roadster from 1935, a front-wheel-drive luxury car built during Audi's years as part of the Auto Union combine. Finished in blue and silver with opening features, this is a used model whose box shows traces of storage.
Audi's Front-drive models were an engineering rarity in the 1930s, when front-wheel drive remained largely experimental, and the 225 paired that unusual layout with genuinely elegant open-top coachwork aimed at Germany's luxury-car buyers.
A Hand-Assembled Pre-War Build
CMC's approach to this era favors mechanical accuracy over simplified casting, and the 225 Front reflects that: doors open on real hinges, the folding top detail is captured with genuine fabric-look texture, and the cabin reveals period-correct upholstery and dashboard work rather than a molded shortcut. The blue-and-silver two-tone finish carries real depth, and the flowing pre-war fenders show the compound curves that era's coachbuilders relied on to distinguish a luxury roadster from an ordinary sedan. The metal-heavy multi-part construction gives the model genuine weight in the hand, distinct from a lighter, simpler diecast. As a used model, expect some wear around the hinge points; the box shows traces of storage, a condition affecting the carton rather than the casting.
A Rare Subject Worth Seeking Out
Front-wheel-drive prestige cars from this period are genuinely uncommon subjects in scale-model form, making this Audi 225 a distinctive addition for collectors focused on Auto Union's constituent brands or on pre-war engineering curiosities more broadly. Displayed alongside period Horch, Wanderer, or DKW subjects, it fills out the Auto Union story in a way few other replicas can. Its opening features and hand-built detail reward close handling, making it a piece worth studying rather than simply displaying from a distance.
