2023 Ottomobile News

The lower front grille looks terrible! Just a slab of plastic! I hope it looks better in the rest of their pictures.

I actually found a picture of an E60 M5 interior that looks like this, but it's a very odd choice especially combined with this colour exterior. I would have seen piano black rather than this light wood trim.

I feel the other way. I like this interior choice but would rather have a darker exterior shade. Sepang Brown or Malachite Green would be my choices.

I like the combo, it's pretty "out there" I will probably end up getting one. I don't have a Kyosho one anymore.

I have been collecting 1/18 scale modelcars for 8 years but I only have 2 Otto`s in my collection (third on its way) which all are Ford Cosworths. But now I will finally need to add the E34 M5 as this one has beautiful color choice`s!
Also the Evo 6 TME since I dont have any Autoart road version.
As a genuine BMW guy I should also order the E60 M5 but color choices on this one are horrible IMO. Both in and out. But its ok because the E60 has to me always been the ugly generation. It has an amazing drivetrain though! But that is irrelevant for a sealed modelcar.

Now that I like. Still, I´d rather seen the Puma though.

That Fiesta is the first Otto model for way more than a year I fancy getting.
However it looks a little odd in the front, probably the angle of the photo.
I will have to get one (there will probably be more colours on the way) since the Fiesta is to be killed off.
More decent cars dying because stupid people are now buying 'super size' versions instead.....

Which Puma?

The 1998 1.7 Moonlight silver Puma with the rotor wheels, or the later Racing Blue Racing Puma with the spoke wheels. Or both 😁

Oh it's about time. I need one to match my 1:1 hopefully they do white straight away.

I'd quite like a model in Molten Orange, that colour's great!

Am I hoping for too much by wondering if a right hand drive option of the Fiesta could be released?
I would think that a very significant number of these cars were sold in such markets....

I can't see it happening.

Agreed, I think the DNA one will probably be RHD, but it feels like theirs will never come out.

Not this time, but we are thinking about RHD Ford for next year

I guess there's no point in me guessing what it will be.
From memory only Australian Fords were RHD only.
Some generations of the Cortina had a slightly different shape to their German Taunus sisters, so possibly that.
An easy option would be a MK1 Fiesta Supersport (a car I had an opportunity to drive for two days).
Fingers crossed for an 105/123E Anglia, or perhaps a racing Puma....

That 'big foot' Golf was available in the past, in green.

Fudge.

I was done, but the Kyosho and AA were out of my budget. Whatever, it’s only money.

Now GL just needs to bring the Max Max Big Bopper to the US so I don’t have to pay Aussie shipping. I can sell a model or two to make room.
