About the Horch 855 Special Roadster Silver Blue Minichamps 1:43

TL;DR: Minichamps' 1:43 diecast reproduces the Horch 855 Special Roadster in silver blue, a coachbuilt luxury car from 1938 and one of Auto Union's flagship pre-war models. The sealed zinc alloy body captures the roadster's flowing fenders and long bonnet in small-scale form.

Horch built some of pre-war Germany's most elegant cars under the same Auto Union badge that would later become Audi. Minichamps renders the 855 Special Roadster in silver blue, a subject whose flowing lines demand more of a casting than most modern coupes ever would.

The Horch 855 and Auto Union's Luxury Marque

One of the Four Rings Behind Audi

Horch was one of the four companies whose merger formed Auto Union, the group whose four-ring logo survives today as Audi's own emblem. Within that group, Horch occupied the premium end, building large, expensive cars for buyers who wanted the German equivalent of what Duesenberg or Packard offered in the American market. The 855 Special Roadster, introduced in the late 1930s, represented that ambition at its peak, a low-production luxury car built in small numbers even when new.

A Coachbuilt Roadster Silhouette

The 855's long bonnet, sweeping front fenders, and low cabin reflect the coachbuilt styling conventions of its era, where a car's shape communicated status as much as its badge did. Surviving examples are rare enough today that most collectors will only ever encounter the car through a model like this one rather than in person.

Minichamps' Diecast Take on Pre-War Elegance

Flowing Fenders Cast in Zinc Alloy

Getting a car this curved right at 1:43 depends on the casting holding consistent fender depth along a long, sweeping line without flattening or distorting it, and this model keeps that flow intact from the front wheel arch through to the rear deck. Zinc alloy construction gives the piece genuine weight, appropriate for a car whose original was itself a substantial, heavy machine.

Silver Blue Paint and Chrome Detail

The silver blue finish carries an even depth across the body's long flat surfaces, where thin paint coverage would be immediately visible given how little the shape breaks up the light. Chrome-finish trim along the grille, headlamps, and window surrounds is picked out cleanly against the body color, and the sealed one-piece construction keeps the shut lines along the long doors tight rather than showing gaps that would interrupt the car's flowing profile.

A Pre-War Anchor Among Vintage Classics

A pre-war Horch anchors a vintage classics shelf in a way few 1970s or modern subjects can, giving a collection genuine depth of era alongside more common post-war German classics. At 1:43, it demands little shelf space for a car this visually substantial, and it rewards a collector building toward the earliest decades of automotive history rather than only its more commonly represented later chapters.
