This 1:18 scale resin model of the 1995 Volvo 850 T5-R in Dark Olive Pearl is made by Otto Mobile. It measures approximately 25.9 cm in length and is produced as a limited edition of 2000 pieces.
Back in the Nineties, Volvo sought to rejuvenate and revitalize its corporate image. In 1992, the 850 was commercialised, and its success was instantaneous. The following year, a station wagon version was marketed to complete the range. In 1994, Volvo launched, to everyone’s surprise, its BTCC (British Touring Car Championship) station wagon, a daring gamble that was rewarded with decent laps in the qualifiers and a 5th place overall. This sporting commitment was the basis of the marketing for the launch of the Volvo 850 T5-R Estate, a sporty and top-of-the-range version of the 850 station wagon. As a limited series, the Volvo 850 T5-R met with some success back in the day, and has a strong fan base these days.
