About the Volvo 240 Turbo Nordica #1 J. Cecotto / A. Olafsson ETCC Brno 1986 IXO 1:18

TL;DR: IXO's 1:18 diecast Volvo 240 Turbo Nordica #1, driven by Johnny Cecotto and A. Olafsson at ETCC Brno 1986, is a sealed one-piece casting. It reproduces one of the more unlikely touring car racing successes of the era, a boxy Swedish sedan turned genuine turbocharged racer.

The 240's upright, boxy shape looked out of place on a racetrack, yet its turbocharged racing program produced real results in European touring car competition through the mid-1980s.

IXO's Sealed-Body Touring Car Casting

With no opening panels, this casting puts its precision entirely into the exterior, where the Nordica sponsor livery and racing number need to register cleanly across the 240's flat, upright body panels. Widened fenders house the racing suspension and wider track a competitive touring car needed, a flare that IXO renders as a distinct shape against the otherwise boxy Volvo silhouette. The livery printing for the specific Brno 1986 ETCC round ties this casting to a documented event rather than a generic Volvo racing scheme, a detail collectors focused on period touring car history will appreciate.

A Boxy Sedan's Place in Touring Car History

The 240's racing success stands out precisely because the car looked so unsuited to competition, and that contrast is part of its appeal on a shelf built around European Touring Car history. At roughly 21 centimeters, it holds its own next to more conventionally sporty rivals from the same era. Displayed with other ETCC entries from 1986, it fills out a genuinely diverse grid.
