About the Audi Quattro A2 #12 H. Wittmann / R. Diekmann Safari Rally 1984 Sun Star 1:18

TL;DR: Sun Star's 1:18 diecast Audi Quattro A2 reproduces the #12 Wittmann/Diekmann entry from the grueling 1984 Safari Rally, with opening doors, hood and trunk on this used example. The box shows traces of storage; the casting is intact. A distinctive African-round Group B livery.

The Safari Rally punished cars and drivers with rough terrain unlike Europe's tarmac and gravel stages, and Sun Star's diecast documents Audi's factory attempt on that unforgiving event.

Reproducing a Safari-Spec Quattro

The zinc alloy body brings genuine weight to this Quattro, and Sun Star's tooling keeps the flared wheel arches and boxy rally silhouette well defined despite the doors, hood and trunk all opening on this example. Safari cars typically carried additional protection and equipment for the event's brutal conditions, and this livery reflects that period-correct preparation through its graphics and numbering rather than through added physical hardware. The #12 decals for Wittmann and Diekmann are printed with clean registration against the base body color, matching documented period liveries from the event. Doors operate with real mechanical resistance, letting the model be posed convincingly. As a used example, this piece's box shows traces of storage, ordinary wear limited to the packaging rather than the diecast body itself.

The Safari Rally's Unique Demands

Unlike the European gravel and tarmac stages that made up most of the World Rally Championship calendar, the Safari Rally in East Africa tested cars against extreme heat, dust, and rough terrain over enormous distances, a combination that eliminated many competitors before the finish. Audi's factory Quattro team entered this event as part of a broader effort to prove the car's four-wheel-drive advantage translated across every kind of rally surface, not just the European rounds where it first dominated. For a Group B or World Rally Championship collection, this Safari-liveried Quattro adds geographic and competitive variety that a European-only rally shelf would otherwise lack.
