About the Volvo 240 Turbo IPS Racing Blaupunkt #1 P. Stureson DTM Zolder 1986 IXO 1:18

TL;DR: IXO's 1:18 diecast Volvo 240 Turbo #1 reproduces P. Stureson's IPS Racing Blaupunkt entry from the 1986 DTM round at Zolder. The sealed diecast body carries the boxy 240's silhouette and full sponsor livery with no opening panels.

The Volvo 240 Turbo remains one of touring car racing's more unlikely success stories, a boxy family estate-derived sedan competing seriously against purpose-built rivals, and IXO's diecast replica captures that contrast well.

Diecast Precision on an Unlikely Touring Car Shape

The 240's flat panels and squared-off greenhouse are, ironically, well suited to diecast reproduction, since there are few compound curves to compromise and a sealed body can hold clean, even lines across the doors and roof without hinge clearance concerns. Zinc-alloy construction gives IXO's model the dimensional stability needed to carry the Blaupunkt and IPS Racing sponsor graphics in sharp tampo registration across the car's boxy flanks, and the metal's weight signals genuine tooling rather than a lighter promotional casting. Because openable_parts confirms this body doesn't open, the model's entire case rests on livery accuracy and the 240's unmistakable upright shape, both handled with the tight tolerances a small diecast production run allows.

The 240 Turbo's Distinctive Place in DTM History

Volvo's touring car campaign with the 240 stood out precisely because the car looked so unlike a racing machine, a boxy sedan running competitively against sleeker German rivals during the same DTM seasons that produced cars like the 190E EVO 2. A model like this works well paired with those contemporary rivals on a shelf, since the visual contrast between the 240's squared-off shape and the more aerodynamic competition tells the era's story clearly. Since the body is sealed, display value rests on livery and stance rather than interior detail, and this piece carries both convincingly. At this tier, it's a distinctive, accessible addition to any 1980s touring car collection, offering a genuinely different silhouette than the usual German subjects.
