![]() Today's car of the day is Matchbox's 1991 Audi Avus quattro Concept. ![]()
![]() For more information and pictures of the real car, please visit Wikipedia: Audi Avus quattro ![]() ![]() In 1995, a Tyco-owned Matchbox produced this casting of a 1991 Audi concept car. The debut Matchbox version was in a reflective chrome finish, replicating the original show car. Of note, Hot Wheels also cast the Avus show car, but their casting was started in 1990. ![]()

I come across this one a lot at flea markets. I feel like if this one was a hard to come by casting, I'd have a lot more appreciation for it |

This is a nice and bright little car. Over the course of collecting I had several variations on this one - not one of my more favorite models from MB but that was back in the days when everything came home with me.

From a concept view it is very clever, but from a collector view it never has been very popular. Some supercars sell, some don't... |

The Mustang II is a Mustang too!

Maybe the real car looks better in person (I'll never see it, so I'll never know), but from the pics I've seen of the Avus quattro it doesn't have a single attractive angle. Not a car I go out of my way for... |

I have the Hot Wheels version of this one, but not the Matchbox. I agree with Swifty, I'm not going out hunting for one either. As he says, it's just not too attractive. Edited by corvairjim, May 22 2018, 09:54 PM.

New casting? Quick! Take it apart!
|
I haven't a single one of this casting, but I wouldn't mind finding a chrome one at a swap meet. Never seen one yet.
