About the Opel Manta 400 #5 G. Colsoul Rally Ypres 1985 IXO 1:18

TL;DR: IXO's 1:18 diecast Opel Manta 400 recreates Grégoire Colsoul's #5 entry at Rally Ypres in 1985, a Group B homologation special built to compete against Audi's Quattro and Lancia's 037 and Delta S4. Diecast construction reproduces the widened arches and boxed bodywork that mark the 400's rally-spec conversion.

Group B rally cars carry a raw, homologation-special energy that few road-derived racers ever matched, and the Manta 400 is a genuine part of that story.

Diecast Detail on a Homologation-Special Body

Opel widened the Manta's arches and reinforced its bodywork to meet Group B homologation requirements, and those flared, riveted panels are the visual signature that separates a rally 400 from a standard road-going Manta. Diecast construction holds those bolted-on arch extensions and the rally livery's sponsor graphics with the kind of sharp edge definition that a subject this mechanically aggressive calls for, and 1:18 gives enough surface area to actually show off the car's rally-spec bumper guards and auxiliary lighting mounted for night stages. The Ypres livery's color scheme needs crisp separation across those added panels, and IXO's tampo printing keeps sponsor text legible even where the body surface itself is no longer flat.

The Manta 400 in Group B's Golden Era

Opel campaigned the rear-wheel-drive Manta 400 against the all-wheel-drive Audi Quattro and mid-engine Lancia entries during Group B's brief, wild run through the mid-1980s, a period widely remembered as the sport's most dangerous and most spectacular. Grégoire Colsoul, a Belgian rally driver, competed at Rally Ypres, a home-soil Belgian classic with real significance for the country's rally scene, and this specific livery ties the model to that regional event rather than a generic world championship round. For a collector focused on Group B's rear-wheel-drive holdouts against the era's all-wheel-drive revolution, the Manta 400 is a genuinely important entry.
