About the Toyota Celica GT-Four ST185 #1 J-M. Latvala / J. Hussi Rally Costa Brava 2025 IXO 1:18
TL;DR: IXO's 1:18 diecast Toyota Celica GT-Four ST185 reproduces the #1 car driven by Jari-Matti Latvala and Janne Hussi at Rally Costa Brava 2025, complete with rally graphics and Group A stance. A tribute in scale to Toyota's turbocharged all-wheel-drive rally weapon, built for collectors assembling a WRC classic lineup.
The Celica GT-Four ST185 carried Toyota to consecutive WRC manufacturer and drivers' titles in the early 1990s, and this diecast keeps that turbocharged, all-wheel-drive silhouette alive in a Costa Brava historic rally livery, decades after the car last needed shakedown gravel under its wheels.
IXO's Diecast Rally Detailing on the Celica GT-Four
IXO builds its reputation on motorsport subjects rather than showroom cars, and the Celica GT-Four ST185 plays to that strength. The diecast body carries the boxy proportions of the early 1990s Group A shape without softening the wheel arches or the flared sills that housed the car's all-wheel-drive hardware. Auxiliary lighting, a roof-mounted aerial, and mud flaps sit where the real Costa Brava entry ran them, and the tampo-printed sponsor graphics register cleanly across the door panels and rear quarters rather than blurring at the edges. Rally tires with a visible tread pattern replace the smooth rubber of IXO's road-going lines, a small but telling difference that separates a competition casting from a street casting. At this price tier, IXO trades some interior fidelity a resin specialist might offer for a metal body with real heft in the hand, a fair swap for a subject defined by its exterior stance rather than its cabin.
The ST185's Group A Legacy Behind the Costa Brava Livery
The Celica GT-Four ST185 arrived as Toyota sharpened its Group A rally program, and Carlos Sainz drove an ST185 to the 1992 World Rally Championship drivers' title before Juha Kankkunen repeated the feat in 1993, the same year Toyota claimed the manufacturers' crown. That turbocharged, all-wheel-drive formula defined the last great Group A era before World Rally Car regulations reshaped the sport. Rally Costa Brava, run in Catalonia as part of Europe's historic rally calendar, keeps cars like the ST185 competing decades after their factory careers ended, and Jari-Matti Latvala's presence behind the wheel adds a direct link to Toyota's modern WRC program, where he now leads team operations after his own driving career. For a collector assembling a Toyota Group A shelf, this Costa Brava livery slots in as a contemporary chapter of a story that started on 1990s gravel stages.
