Volvo 145 estate by WhiteBox

PictureVolvo 145 estate by WhiteBox
The label WhiteBox has released last week a Volvo 145 estate. The scale model comes in a typical color from the late 1960's and 1970's. It is painted dark yellow. The interior consist of a black dashboard in combination with dark brown seats, side panels, trunk floor and trunk linings. The car is fitted with German license plates for the city of Flensburg.

This Volvo is announced as being a car from model-year 1973. But this is not correct. The scale represents rather a version from 1969 -1970.

This 1:43 scale model is made of diecast and features some plastic parts. It is manufactured by Ixo in China. You can buy it for 21.95 € under item number WB091 (197394). This model is limited to 1000 pieces. It comes packed in a window-box.

Volvo S60L by CSM for Volvo

12/11/2014

3 Comments

 
Photos of a new scale model of the Volvo S60L have shown up on the www. The Volvo S60L is a stretched version of the regular S60. This car is rather unknown here in Europe. This model is manufactured in China for the Chinese market. And it will probably be exported to the US market in 2015. The S60L seems to replace the S80 in the future.
I can't tell you however much about the scale model. All I know is that it is made out of plastic and that it has some moving and opening parts : hood, four doors & trunk. The model features a nicely done two-tone interior. The 1:18 scale model is packed in a plain white window box - well with a small window. This scale model is only available in China.
Any kind of info is warmly welcome.

The Volvo S60L - some facts:

The Volvo S60L is a China-only stretched variant of the Volvo S60. The model is extended by 8 centimeter in the middle to create more legroom for passengers in the back.

The new Volvo S60L had been launched on the China car market on December 13, 2013. It was one of the most anticipated new-car launches in China of that year. Price starts at 269.600 yuan and ends at 348.900 yuan.

The S60L is powered by a 200hp 2.0 turbo (2.0T), a 241hp
2.0 turbo (T5), or a 300hp 3.0 turbo (T6).

The S60L competes with other China-made China-only stretched sedans such as the Audi A4L, the BMW 3Li, and the upcoming Mercedes-Benz C-Class L, none of which offers a hybrid, giving Volvo an unique selling point in a hard battled market.

The S60L is manufactured in a new Geely-funded Volvo factory in Chengdu in central China.
