I love these made by MotorMax, they are 1:24 and made in a very detailed manner in Red and Black. Alu cast, hood opens with actual engine model inside, doors open, steering wheel rotates when wheels are turned, even mirrors move:

The MotoMax are the only S4 type models you can (or "could" at one point) buy in that size, but they are not nearly as detailed and high quality as the AutoArt models.

The AutoArt models have many details like Pascha seats, carpet, even the brown lines for the hatch window heater are replicated.

This 1/20 scale looks nice.

No black S4s huh?

I do like the tobacco brown though.

Nicole do these even have carpet inside (pic's look like there might be). And yes, you've got some great prices ... agree they look exceptionally detailed.

I kept my Matchbox cars from when I was a kid; they are all from 1976 - 1982 or so, about 300 cars, and lots of them are Porsches. My 7 year old plays with them now, pointing out either how cool or how old the cars old. Old...ha. I'll dig out one and photograph, it is ironically the colors of the 928 I ended up with.

Bought these 3 from a car collector (Playart, Matchbox and Herpa). My grandson at 18 months saw these and wouldnt put them down. He is a car guy already.



He loves playing with cars. Climbed in and started trying to shift.

..or the Solido 1525?
EDIT: jumped the gun on that. Smaller than the Solido. Nice proportionate detail for such a small model.
