The Australian based company Biante will finally release the 1996 Volvo 854 ATCC. It can be purchased online from 12 midday WST on the 22 February 2013. The red Volvo with the number 5 represents the car which was driven by Peter Brock in 1996 for the Volvo Dealer Team in the ATCC. ( see below for the history of this car ) The 1:18 scale model is available for $195.00 AUD ( ± 166 € ) under item number A89694. The model is produced by Autoart for Biante.

The twenty-first model in the Volvo Collection by Editions Atlas is a Volvo Amazon break. Editions Atlas pretends that this car represent a model from 1962. The car is painted California white and features a red interior. It seems at first sight that this release doesn't present an major issues.      
I can announce three future releases for the Volvo Collection by Editions Atlas. The upcoming cars are a Volvo Amazon break, a Volvo PV56 and a Volvo 780 Bertone. The Amazon break will be the next model in Norway. The PV56 will be the next model in the Netherlands and Belgium. I do ignore when and where the Volvo 780 Bertone will be shipped.
 
 
I have discovered two new Volvo XC90 scale models by NewRay. Both are 1:32 scale models. They aren't however listed on NewRay's website but I guess that these have already been released last year.

The Nürnberg Toy Fair hasn't brought up many news this year. In fact not one new Volvo has been presented. The few new models have already been announced ahead of this years toy fair. Here is a short summary of all the upcoming models for 2013. BoS-Models - 1:18 Model Car World has announced a 1989 Volvo 245 GL which will be released under their newly created label BoS-Models. This shortcut stands for 'Best of Show'. The 1:18 scale model will be made of resin and only 1000 units will be exclusively produced for Model Car World by the French company OttOmobile. A precise release date is not yet known.
Matrix Scale Models - 1:43 The newly founded company Matrix Scale Models has also announced ahead of the Toy Fair three new and rather unusual Volvo models. These 1:43 scale cars will be made of resin and will only be available as rtr versions. A sale price has not yet been published but they seem to be released during the second and third quarter of 2013. The announced Volvo's are :
Minichamps - 1:43 & 1:18 Minichamps is finally at the point to release the two 1:43 scale Volvo 242 Turbo models. The first ( item # 400861701 ) is already available and the second ( item # 400851753 ) should follow this month. Another long awaited model - the P1800ES in 1:18 scale - should normally be released late this summer. Minichamps hasn't however announced any new Volvo models. Is this the end of an era ?
Neo Scale Models - 1:87A few sources say that Neo Scale Models will stop offering H0 models. But he following six models which have already been announced a long long time ago and are still listed on Neo's slightly redesigned website. Their facebook page has however been off-line for some days now.
Neo Scale Models - 1:43 cars All the following 1:43 scale models have also previously been announced. Only a few new colors and liveries have showed up on Neo's website. Precise release dates have not been published.
Neo Scale Models - 1:43 trucks Neo Scale Models has also announced several classic Volvo truck models. I was not yet able to find more infos about the exact model-years and truck types.
Premium-X - 1:43 Premium-X will release in the next weeks the four models they have already announced last summer. They are however to my surprise not even featured in their catalog for 2013. My guess is that more models already available in the 'Volvo Collection' will show up in the future as slightly improved versions in IXO's and/or Premium-X standard program.
We can certainly expect a few more Volvo scale models from other well known brands. I suppose that most will be only new colors and liveries. But we also learned from the past that one or the other surprise can show up at any given time. Don't hesitate to leave me a line if you should have seen any other model not yet listed or mentioned above.
