About the Peugeot 405 MI16 Super Tourisme French Supertouring Championship 1995 Otto 1:18
TL;DR: Ottomobile's 1:18 resin Peugeot 405 MI16 reproduces the sedan as raced in the 1995 French Supertouring Championship, complete with period racing livery and touring-car aero. This used model has a sealed one-piece body, and its box shows traces of storage.
The 405 MI16's touring-car campaign gave Peugeot a competitive presence in the mid-1990s Supertouring boom, a category that transformed ordinary family sedans into aggressively widened, aerodynamically tuned racers, and Ottomobile's resin casting captures that transformation in detail.
Resin Construction on a Supertouring Racing Subject
With no opening parts on this casting, the 405's widened arches, front splitter, and rear wing sit as one continuous, cast form, and resin construction is well matched to a racing subject like this: the aggressive bodywork additions come through with sharper, more consistent edges than a diecast tooling process would typically allow at this scale. The model is light for its size, a resin trait that trades mass for the finer cast-in detail livery graphics and aero pieces demand. The livery itself is factory-applied rather than a decal overlay in most areas, keeping sponsor colors and numbering crisp under a display light. As a used model with a box showing traces of storage, the resin body should retain its shape and finish well, avoiding the long-term degradation concerns a metal body can develop.
The 405 MI16 and Supertouring's Golden Era
The French Supertouring Championship of the mid-1990s ran under similar 2.0-liter regulations to the British and German touring car series of the same period, producing widened, heavily modified versions of mainstream sedans that bore only a passing resemblance to their road-going counterparts under the skin. Peugeot's factory-backed 405 effort was part of that wave, giving the otherwise ordinary family sedan a genuine competition identity.
Collecting 1990s Touring Car Racing
This model rewards a shelf focused on 1990s touring car racing across manufacturers, where the 405 sits alongside contemporaries from BMW, Ford, and other period Supertouring entrants. Its niche subject matter is exactly what makes it valuable to a focused collection.
