UPDATED - Volvo S80L by Motorart

3/13/2014

A Dutch Volvo fan just found out that Motorart has produced the Volvo S80L at least in two different colors back in 2011. There has not only been a black model ( see here ) but also a second version painted oyster gray. Both versions are 1:18 scale models made of diecast. Both models reproduce Volvo's top of the line model S80L which is fitted in China with the T6 engine and all wheel drive. Motorart had revealed to a Dutch customer that the black one was sold out and that they do not plan to produce another run. But they never told that person that they produced the Volvo S80L in a second color. It is pretty hard to find any details or a copy of this scale model on the internet. I'm sorry but I can't help you to provide you with a model. I have no clue were you could get one.

Volvo S80L by Motorart

2/26/2014

Motorart has produced the Volvo S80L as a 1:18 scale diecast model. This S80L was just offered in China. Motorart has revealed that it is sold out and that they do not plan to produce another run. Motorart showed that scale model for several years at the Toy Fair in Nürnberg (D). It is pretty strange that we hear only now about this Volvo scale model. It is even more strange that it is very very difficult to find a copy on the internet. I'm sorry but I can't help you to provide you with a model. I have no clue were you could get one.

The Volvo S80L is in fact pretty unknown outside China. Volvo produced this slightly longer Volvo S80 only for the Chinese car market. Chinas higher middle class loves to be driven by a chauffeur. Other prefer to offer more space to their family members. For that reason many car builders offer their well selling models in slightly longer chassis and body configurations.

Some of these long wheelbase cars are :

Audi A6L
Audi A4L
BMW 5-series
BMW 3-series
Infiniti M ( M25L or M35hL )
Mercedes class E
Mercedes class C
Rolls-Royce Phantom Extended Wheelbase
and of course Volvo with their S80L

Volvo Police models by T.O.T Models

A guy in the UK is offering Code 3 Police models in various scales. He is mainly doing those colorful Police cars from the UK. All the scale models are made in very small numbers. But he is also offering one-offs of a specific model if you desire one like that. He uses self made printed decals as well as correct detail parts from several small suppliers like 2D Models. All his models are offered under the label T.O.T. Models.
