CM Model Keeps the Hits Coming with New BMW and Mustang Releases CM Model is back with another wave of exciting releases. Best known for its incredibly detailed Pagani and McLaren replicas, the Asian manufacturer is now branching out into cars that many collectors probably didn’t see coming. A brilliant mix of interesting cars β the BMW and the two Mustangs really catch the eye! We’ve already seen the Subaru BRZ wearing the Varis Arising-1 body kit in a different spec, but this time it’s the legendary BMW M3 E30 taking centre stage. Finished with PANDEM’s signature widebody kit, the iconic M3 looks absolutely spot on. As we’ve come to…

RWB: Rauh Welt Begriff – Between genius and total madness?
Love and Hate From my experience talking to car enthusiasts, when you mention those three letters in the context of a Porsche, there is usually one of two possible reactions. One side loves them; the other absolutely despises them. Itβs not that hard to see why they are so polarising and we will not try to persuade you why one is better than the other. RWB or Rauh Welt Bergiff is not like other tuning houses. The skilled hands of its owner and founder, Akira Nakai, produce a very unique style: custom Porsches with big wings, absurdly wide bodies and deep dish wheels unlike anything else on the road –…

Unveiled 21 July 1987 in Maranello, it was by far the most extreme road car Marranello ever produced. It was their first road car to have its chassis and bodywork built with extensive use of carbon fiber, Kevlar…

The end of Godzilla – Nissan Skyline GTR R35 FEATURETTE
The inevitable has happened… Nissan bids a fond farewell to the legendary GT-R. No sooner has it come of age than it must die. After 18 years of production, the last R35 has now rolled off the assembly line in Japan. Around 48,000 units have been built at the Tochigi plant since 2007. The last model is a T-Spec in the Premium Edition in Midnight Purple, which is destined for a customer in Japan. If you see the glass as half full, this is only a temporary farewell. Ivan Espinosa, CEO of Nissan, assures enthusiasts that Godzilla will rise again. Let’s hope it will be a gasoline-powered car with all…

All about the FORD RS200 – Tarmacworks Hobby64+ FEATURETTE
Hobby64+ and Ford RS200: Tarmacworks sets new standards! Although we are staying in 1:64 scale here, Tarmacworks literally takes the crown with these models. They are by far the most detailed models on the Tarmacworks market. A packaging design specially tailored to the model meets a sample that looks as accurate in the pictures as if you had a real rally car in your own garage as 1:1. Years earlier, we had the pleasure already of adding several rally versions to our collection with the Lancia 037. Whether test vehicle in red, safari version with spare wheel on the roof or with unique paintwork from the respective years. They all…
