About the Citroen 2CV Sahara Yellow Otto 1:18
TL;DR: Otto's 1:18 resin Citroen 2CV Sahara in Yellow reproduces the dual-engine, four-wheel-drive 2CV variant from the 1960s. The sealed resin body captures the car's minimalist panels and distinctive twin rear engine cover. A genuinely unusual subject for collectors of special and unique models.
Citroen's answer to off-road capability without a conventional transfer case was to simply fit a second engine at the rear, making the Sahara one of the more genuinely eccentric solutions in automotive history.
Resin Construction on a Deliberately Simple Shape
The 2CV's corrugated hood panel and minimalist body lines are simple by design, but that simplicity puts real focus on paint quality and edge consistency since there is little surface complexity to distract from flaws. Otto's sealed resin body keeps the Sahara's twin fuel filler caps and rear engine cover, the details that mark this out from a standard 2CV, cast cleanly into the shape. Yellow paint holds an even finish across the car's flat door panels and corrugated hood, with no visible mold lines disrupting the ridged texture Citroen originally stamped into the metal. The lack of opening panels suits a subject where the real interest lies in exterior proportions and the unusual dual rear-engine layout rather than cabin detail.
A Rare Subject for Special-Model Collectors
Very few Saharas were built, and even fewer scale reproductions exist, making this a genuine rarity for collectors who prioritize unusual engineering history over mainstream classics. At roughly 20cm, its compact, upright shape displays well among other 1960s European economy cars, though its dual rear engine cover immediately sets it apart on close inspection. This is a piece built for curiosity and conversation as much as for filling a themed lineage, which is exactly the appeal of the original car.
