Nice surprises still occur. Just have a look at this model of a second generation Volvo S40 (2004–2012) steel frame. This rather unusual model has been commissioned by Volvo as demonstration model and has been shipped to each Volvo dealership in the United States. A total of 380 units have been shipped across the Sates. The scale of this model is somewhere around 1:5 and 1:6.
V!VA ALL NEW VOLVO S40 SAFETY STRUCTURE – STEEL INDUSTRY AWARD-WINNER FOR INNOVATION

Mild Steel High-Strength Steel Extra High-Strength Steel Ultra High-Strength Steel
Standard chassis:
Used primarily in areas where enhanced deformation control is not required.
Utilized progressively crumple and dissipate crash forces in areas where a lot of energy needs to be absorbed. Deforms at higher loads than high-strength steel to limit and re-route collision forces as they get closer to the passenger compartment Very hard steel used in the inner sections of the front and rear bumper rails, and as reinforcement members in the doors. This steel incorporates maximum stiffness to provide front-line protection.

Quote from the company's website which built this model:
Project: Volvo S40 Frame
Client: Campbell and Company, Detroit, MI
Size: 33 inches long
Features: Scale Models Unlimited created these demonstration models to show the safety features of the Volvo S40 by indicating the different grades of steel used in the construction of its frame. We shipped one model to every Volvo dealer in the United States, (380 total).

Update :
I was told today by the Polish dealer and distributor modele.sklep.pl that GS Racing is updating their product lines as well as reorganizing the company. In 2014, we may expect new cars, new TX/RX systems, new engines, new bodies, new updated chassis of each car’s class, and also – the very new website.

Volvo Police models from Russia and Belarus

5/23/2013

1 Comment

 
A seller from Israel is offering several Volvo scale models representing Police cars from Russia and Belarus. The 1:43 scale models are apparently custom made in the Ukraine. The seller did not want to share more infos and did not want to reveal more details about the various versions. The Police cars are based on redecorated models by Minichamps and Motorart. The level of details and the quality of the decals are of a very high standard. This is also reflected in the price tag. The average cost for a model are 80 €.

4/1/2013

0 Comments

 
This Volvo S40 scale model by Hongwell-Junior Driver has been decorated for 'Coca-Cola'. It was given to Account Managers of the well known soft drink company who could handle it out to their best customers. I have no clue which year they have been offered by Coca-Cola.
The 1:43 scale model is painted red, has a dark gray interior and features opening front side doors. The well known Coca-Cola logo is situated on the hood and on the front side doors. The number plate reads 'VO S40'. The item # is 21308-920.
