Looking good!!!

I do find it a bit weird though how they've been making models for other manufacturers, but have decided to make their own ones now.

Ooooo, they have a BMW licence?

Anyway, I want one of the Camel Trophy Land Rovers.
I don't think they have a licence to make them in their own name; they only mention BMW in amongst companies that they make cars for (IMO the world doesn't need yet another company churning out models of 1:1s that all look the same, but that's another discussion).
I did notice that they mention Jaguar amongst the brands that they have licences for, and they haven't announced any Jaguars yet. I know they're the same company as Land Rover, but it seems odd that they'd specifically mention Jaguar if they weren't planning to release some cats.

I posted this elsewhere already, but I'm a bit disappointed they aren't releasing any of the GT3 race cars in 1/18. For those of us who collect mostly race cars the options are ridiculously limited; almost all modern race car models are sealed, whether they're diecast or resin. They can empty my wallet if they make the N24 Bentley GT3 in racing green with full openings. Pretty please, AR...

I'm looking forward to seeing the Blower Bentley, that thing should be a monster!

They look very promising indeed. In modern times with increasing resin model manufacturers and diecastcompanies going out of business or switching their focus to resin, it's nice to see diecast is still alive and kicking.
I also noticed the jaguar license. My hopes are on a nice and detailed 1:18 F-type, F-pace, XJ, XF and XE. Maybe some older jags aswell.
The bentley line-up already looks promising. I didn't know the mulsanne convertible was already announced. Will look good next to my DE azure.

The Blower is a surprise. Curious if it has anything in common with the older Minichamps given their relation.

I want at least 3 of the Land Rovers...

But looking at the Pagani list, there's going to be some damage that's for sure....to the wallet!
I can easily see myself getting the Cinque and the Tricolor, just hope they do a good job simulating that carbon fiber.

I'm also glad they're doing many liveries of the P1 GTR, West edition and Harrods would be very welcome.

And I'm curious about their Jaguar license (XJ220 comes to mind very quickly!)...

...and Le Mans cars!

Don't think so. Maybe different in detailing. Like the Land Rover also, they doing the same models as Kyosho but detail wise very different.

Everybody keeps saying they are producing the landies for kyosho, but I'm actually not convinced. It looks like very different tooling to me...

For me, when it comes to Jaguar license, the F-Type SVR is what instantly comes to mind.

I'll take both, please. But given AUTOart's recent direction in quality and price, I reckon we should definitely change that AUTOart XJ220 petition to an AR XJ220 petition. If they promise it will be RHD they can have my money now :-D
