1:18 CITROEN GT

That's a pretty wild looking car, is that a concept?

Normally I don't like buying concepts because then my collection would never end and if it does go into production sometimes the concept is different from the production cars, then I feel obliged to buy the production model. Norev does make some pretty decent cars for what its worth, but this car seems too wild for me though, I wouldn't get it only because it doesn't appeal to my taste, however to each their own!

 

I like the concept, but the model is only ok, like most Norev's anyway. Its sure is unique in a sense that I don't think anybody else will release this in 1/18. I think its a good buy if this car appeals to you.

 

Looks nice, go for it.

 

I say no. $85 seems high, did they jump the price on Norev?

 

This is a concept but Citroen are building five as far as I know which will be sold. It was designed by Citroen as a 'virtual' car in the yet to be released PS3 game GT5 and was so well received that they built a real one. Then people wanted to buy it so they're putting it into limited production!

 

Oh okay, thanks! I can't imagine I'll ever be seeing one....

I say you save up for the Lambo LP670-4!

 

This.

I think he was referring to Autoart. Someone posted that it will be out at the end of year.

 

Yeah I meant the AA one, I read on another diecast forum too that it "should" be out later this year. I think the MR models are absolutely fantastic but those are out of my price range and I don't like the fact that nothing opens, but I understand why they don't.

Do you know when the Zonda R is suppose to be released? I have a good feeling these are all going to be in the $150 to $200 range. I was reading on Autoblog that the Murcielago successor is in fact going to have "Lamborghini doors" aka scissor doors, but there is speculation that the doors will be slightly modified and kind of open like Koenigsegg doors, that just means the model released by AA will take a while before it comes out and cost definitely in the $170 to $200 area.

 

WTH is that? It looks very very rough.

 

It looks like the LP640 with APM kit on it

Wow that's hot!

Here's some more pics

I think a lot of the pieces are just replace and respray pieces, so hopefully it won't be that hard, let us know how it turns out, I have some pics of completed models, I'll post them up to give you any ideas (they aren't mine)
