An excellent model by Minichamps, and of a rather cool car. The German touring car racing series, DTM consists of mainly the Audi A4 and Mercedes Benz C-Class platforms. Despite Audi's awesome Quattro all-wheel drive system, none of their current race cars have it - they are all rear wheel drive. The last time Audi implemented their Quattro system in a race car was for the B5 A4 STW, and BTCC. The Quattro equipped cars dominated the so much that the governing bodies banned the cars.
This diecast is typical Minichamps quality. The wheels and tires are done very nicely, and the overall appearance of the car is correct. Especially nice is the front end of the car. Minichamps did a great job with the headlamps, and the photo-etch Audi rings are a nice touch. Something that I don't like about this model is that the lower side sills are plastic, rather than metal.
