About the Toyota Celica Turbo 4WD ST185 #1 J. Kankkunen / J. Piironen Safari Rally 1993 IXO 1:18

TL;DR: IXO's 1:18 Toyota Celica Turbo 4WD ST185 #1 recreates Juha Kankkunen and J. Piironen's entry at the 1993 Safari Rally as a sealed diecast replica. Sharp livery detail and rally-spec bodywork suit a Group A WRC display well.

Kankkunen's #1 entry led Toyota's Safari Rally lineup in 1993, and this diecast anchors what is effectively a series of related Celica replicas from the same punishing East African event.

Diecast Craft Behind the Lead Toyota Celica Entry

The sealed one-piece zinc-alloy body holds the ST185's flared arches, roof-mounted lighting, and boxy turbo-four silhouette with clean, consistent lines throughout the casting. The period Toyota Team livery carries sharp, accurately registered graphics specific to Kankkunen and Piironen's #1 car, distinguishing it from its sister entries in the same event through correct sponsor placement and number detailing. IXO extends rally-specific detailing to the underbody protection and mud flaps typical of Safari-spec builds, giving the model genuine event character beyond a generic Celica shape. As the numbered lead car, this piece naturally anchors a themed multi-car Safari Rally display.

Kankkunen's Standing in Rally History

Juha Kankkunen remains one of the most decorated drivers in World Rally Championship history, and his partnership with Toyota's Group A program produced some of the era's most competitive results, including strong performances at the demanding Safari Rally. This #1 entry represents that partnership at its peak visibility, the lead factory car rather than a supporting entry. Collecting this alongside the #2 and #3 sister Celicas from the same rally builds a genuine grid-style display of one legendary event, a stronger approach than acquiring the cars piecemeal. Priced at IXO's standard motorsport tier, it anchors that display appropriately.
