About the Mercedes CW311 White Metallic BoS Models 1:18
TL;DR: BoS Models's 1:18 resin Mercedes CW311 in white metallic reproduces the rare concept car built on Mercedes SL mechanicals for a road movie. Sealed resin construction suits this low-volume subject's sharp wedge bodywork, a niche BoS covers where mainstream diecast manufacturers never go.
Most concept cars never reach a collector's shelf at all, and the CW311's route to scale form runs through a film production rather than a motor show.
Resin Craft for a Genuine One-Off
BoS Models's sealed resin construction captures the CW311's flat, angular wedge shape with the sharp panel lines a project car built for cameras rather than mass production actually deserves. The white metallic finish carries visible depth under direct light, and the model's low nose and dramatic wheel arches, unlike anything in Mercedes's regular lineup of the era, come through clearly. Because resin production runs in small batches, a genuinely one-off subject like this gets treatment that a diecast manufacturer chasing volume sales would likely never attempt.
A Concept Built for the Big Screen
The CW311 was built on Mercedes SL underpinnings as a custom-bodied show and film car, most notably associated with the 1981 road movie The Cannonball Run, giving it a very different origin story than a factory concept meant for auto-show circuits. That film connection is exactly why a subject this obscure still holds collector interest decades later, a genuine curiosity rather than a mass-produced design study. On a concept car shelf, this CW311 represents automotive design shaped by entertainment rather than engineering committees.
