About the Audi Avus Quattro Alpine White Revell 1:18
TL;DR: Revell's 1:18 diecast Audi Avus quattro reproduces the 1991 concept car in Alpine White. Shown at the Tokyo Motor Show with a polished aluminum body and W12 engine, the Avus previewed styling and construction ideas that later shaped Audi's road cars.
Concept cars rarely reach diecast form at all, which makes a subject like the Avus quattro a genuine rarity on a display shelf.
A Diecast Reproduction of a One-Off Showcar
The Avus quattro's low, aggressive coupe body has almost no straight lines to break up its surfaces, and Revell's diecast handles those compound curves with clean, unbroken panel flow rather than the visible seams a lesser tool would leave. Alpine White is a departure from the polished bare-aluminum finish the real concept wore, giving this replica a more conventional read while keeping the same dramatic proportions: a nose that tapers almost to a point, and a cabin pushed well back over the rear wheels. Concept cars built as one-offs rarely survive as scale models at all, so a diecast this faithful to the shape is worth more attention than its accessible price suggests.
A Concept That Previewed Audi's Aluminum Future
Audi unveiled the Avus quattro in 1991 as a design study built almost entirely from polished aluminum, powered by a W12 engine concept that never reached production in that form. What did carry forward was the thinking behind it: aluminum-intensive construction that Audi would later put into real production with the A8 and its space-frame body. For a collector interested in the road not taken, the Avus quattro sits as a genuine what-if, a car whose engineering ideas mattered more than its own limited-run existence ever did.
