If you like this, you'll love the 1:43. 'Chromed' (supposed to be polished
alloy) as well, with opening doors, hood and detailed engine, interior,
beautiful spaceframe and suspension, rubber tyres. More detail than the
1:18, on such a small model! One of my favourite Audi models. They were
discontinued years ago, but you see one at a swapmeet every now and then.
