About the Matra Murena S Red Otto 1:18

TL;DR: OttOmobile's 1:18 resin Matra Murena S in red reproduces the successor to the Bagheera, carrying the same three-seat-abreast layout into the early 1980s. A sealed specialty casting for collectors of niche French sports coupes rather than mainstream sports-car names.

The Murena replaced the Bagheera but kept the idea that made it distinctive: a driver flanked by two passengers rather than one, in a wedge-shaped body that still stood apart from anything German or Italian rivals were building at the time.

Resin Construction Suited to a Wedge Coupe

The Murena's flat, glass-forward profile benefits from sealed resin the same way the Bagheera does. Tight, consistent lines around the windshield and side glass hold better without the tolerances a diecast hinge mechanism would require, and OttOmobile's specialty focus on French subjects means the casting gets attention a generalist diecast producer would not give it. In red, the S trim's proportions show clearly, and the model's low stance reads as intentional rather than compressed, matching the real car's design brief of a genuinely low-slung three-seat coupe.

Where the Murena Fits Among Collectors

This model rewards someone already building a French marque collection or an eclectic 1980s coupe shelf more than a buyer chasing household names. Displayed next to the Bagheera it succeeds as a proper before-and-after pairing, showing how Matra refined the three-seat concept across two generations rather than abandoning it. On its own, it still stands out simply for being unfamiliar, which is part of its appeal to collectors who have already worked through the obvious German and Italian classics. As with other resin castings at this scale, there are no opening doors or hood here, a trade-off for the sharper panel lines a coupe with this much glass area rewards. The red finish holds up well under gallery-style lighting, though like any painted resin body it benefits from staying out of direct sunlight over years of display. Pricing sits at the mid-tier resin level typical of specialty European producers, a reasonable cost of entry for a subject this uncommon, and a piece that tells a more complete story about French sports-coupe engineering than either the Bagheera or Murena could on its own.
