About the Toyota Celica Turbo 4WD ST185 #2 M. Alén / I. Kivimäki Safari Rally 1993 IXO 1:18

TL;DR: IXO's 1:18 Toyota Celica Turbo 4WD ST185 #2 recreates M. Alén and I. Kivimäki's entry at the 1993 Safari Rally as a sealed diecast replica. Sharp period livery graphics and a compact rally-ready stance suit a Group A WRC shelf.

The ST185 Celica's Group A campaigns defined Toyota's early-1990s rally success, and this specific Safari Rally entry captures one crew's run through that punishing East African event.

Sealed Diecast Detail on the ST185 Celica

Built as a fixed one-piece zinc-alloy casting, the model holds the ST185's boxy turbo-four-wheel-drive silhouette with clean, well-defined lines, the flared arches and rally-spec lighting pods cast cleanly into the shell rather than assembled from separate hinged parts. The period Toyota Team livery is applied with sharp, accurately registered graphics, an important detail on a subject identified by specific driver names and race number rather than shape alone. IXO keeps the rally-spec wheels, mud flaps, and roof-mounted lighting proportionally correct for the scale, giving the model genuine event-specific character rather than a generic Celica shape.

The Safari Rally and Toyota's Group A Era

The Safari Rally was long considered one of the toughest events on the World Rally Championship calendar, testing car durability across brutal East African terrain, and Toyota's ST185 Celicas were built specifically to survive it. Alén and Kivimäki's 1993 entry represents a genuine piece of that competitive era, when Toyota's Group A program regularly contended for wins against Lancia and other manufacturers. A diecast of this specific car works particularly well alongside its Safari Rally sister entries from the same event, building toward a multi-car representation of a single legendary rally rather than a single standalone piece.
