GT Spirit Models

GT Spirit creates premium, officially licensed resin model cars that focus on capturing the shape, stance, and design details of some of the world’s most desirable performance and luxury vehicles. Founded by automotive enthusiasts Frédérick Guillier-Sahuqué and Nicolas Urien, the GT Spirit project grew out of the same passion that helped launch OttOmobile—bringing collector-grade replicas to enthusiasts at accessible prices.

At Model Universe, we stock GT Spirit’s most popular releases, plus upcoming launches available to pre-order—ideal if you collect specific marques, colours, or limited runs.

Why collectors choose GT Spirit resin models

GT Spirit models are designed to be display pieces with impressive presence on the shelf. Key collector features include:

• Official licensing and accurate vehicle branding/details

• Resin construction (ideal for crisp body lines and complex shapes)

• Sealed-body design (typically no opening panels)

• Rolling wheels for realistic presentation and positioning

• Limited and numbered editions that suit collectors who want something special

Because resin models are generally produced as sealed replicas, GT Spirit can concentrate on body accuracy, paint finish, stance, and fine exterior detailing—often the biggest priorities for display collectors.

Limited editions, pre-orders, and collecting tips

Many GT Spirit releases are produced in limited, numbered runs, which means popular models can sell through quickly once they land. If you collect a specific brand, generation, or colourway, pre-ordering is often the easiest way to secure your model before release.

Top tip: If you’re building a set (for example, a Porsche, Mercedes-AMG, or BMW-focused shelf), it’s worth picking up matching scales for a consistent display.
