Spark 1:43 Dacia Sandrider No.219 Sébastien Loeb Dakar Rally 2026 (S6264) Resin Model

Add a cross-country rally raid replica to your collection with the Dacia Sandrider No.219 4th Dakar Rally 2026. This officially licensed model represents the Dacia Sandriders entry that finished fourth on the 2026 edition of the world’s toughest rally raid, driven by Sébastien Loeb with co-driver Edouard Boulanger alongside him in the cockpit.

The Sandrider is Dacia’s purpose-built T1+ category rally raid car, developed by the Romanian brand in partnership with Prodrive to contest the FIA World Rally-Raid Championship and, most prominently, the Dakar Rally. Built around a tubular spaceframe with long-travel suspension to soak up dunes, rocks and washboard tracks, it is powered by a twin-turbocharged V6 engine running on sustainable fuel as part of Dacia’s stated commitment to lower-carbon motorsport. Its compact, wedge-shaped silhouette is designed for visibility over crests and stability at high speed across open desert. The programme marks Dacia’s first works-backed entry into the Dakar arena, with a driver line-up built around proven rally raid talent.

At the 2026 Dakar Rally, the Sandrider competed against the established factory efforts from Toyota, Ford and the Audi-derived programmes, as well as the privateer Mini, Hunter and Century entries that traditionally crowd the top of the leaderboard. Across roughly two weeks of stages through Saudi Arabia’s Empty Quarter and surrounding terrain, Loeb and Boulanger brought car No.219 home in fourth overall in the car category, a result that reflects both their navigational experience and the underlying pace of the Sandrider platform.

Made by Spark in 1:43 scale, this resin model measures approximately 10.5cm in length and is supplied on a branded display base with a clear acrylic cover. The sealed-body resin construction captures the Sandrider’s distinctive bodywork, roof scoop, light pod, mud flaps and competition liveries with the crisp panel detail that 1:43 collectors expect from Spark, while the scale keeps the footprint manageable for shelf or cabinet display alongside other Dakar and WRC pieces.

A strong choice for Sébastien Loeb followers, Dakar Rally enthusiasts and collectors building a modern cross-country rally raid shelf, this replica also suits Dacia and Prodrive supporters tracking the brand’s debut works campaign in the desert.

Understanding Scale

The scale of a model is its size as a proportion to the real-life item. For instance, a 1:18 scale model means that every 1 unit of measurement on the model equals 18 units on the real item. If you divide the real item's size by 18, you'd get the size of the 1:18 model. Please note that models can vary slightly in size, as not all real-life items, like cars or planes, have the same dimensions.
