Polestar has announced yesterday the official release of the Volvo S60 'STCC' as R/C model in two different scales. I have presented the 1:14 version last month here on minivolvo. The second and larger 1:10 version is now also available in Polestar's official webshop. An R/C model in 1:10 scale is without a doubt a big model. The larger version is intended for outdoor use and the smaller 1:14 version for indoor use. 1:10 - Thed Björk’s Volvo S60 Polestar 'STCC' race car You can get yourself a model for €277,05 under item number 7600040-500-000. This is of course everything but a bargain. But don't forget that this one is a huge model and it comes with many great features:
Quote from Polestar's official presentation: Polestar launches radio controlled Volvo S60 race cars Polestar has released this week the first scale model of the actual Volvo S60 STCC race car. It is a 1:14 scale R/C model. It is a rtr (ready to run) model so you can run it out of the box. It comes with multi-channel pistol-grip controller which allows you to run several cars. This R/C model is available for €138,80 under item number 7600012-500-00.

This years International Toy Fair in Nürnberg opened his doors from January 28 to February 2, 2015. Nürnberg welcomes each year the world’s biggest toy fair. Other well known toy fairs are held in New York (US), Chicago (US), Hong-Kong (CN) & Shanghai (CN). The usual manufacturers which are already known to produce Volvo models have once again showed some news. I guess teh most awaited model will be the Volvo S60 STCC as well as the Volvo V60 Polestar. Motorart presented a couple of pre-preduction models of these two models. The Australian label Apex Replicas had announced the STCC version of the S60 already last year. see here Here are all the news I was told about in alphabetical order : BoS-Models This 1:18 scale Volvo PV445 Duett is for sure another great surprise and I bet many will be glad to add this model one day to their showcase. 1:18
Kalee electric ride one
This electric ride on is not a newly produced and/or announced model. I have presented this model back in 2012 click here. Minichamps Minichamps has a rather nice surprise by announcing a classic Volvo in 1:18 : the Volvo 240 GL. Minichamps will produce beside this newly tooled model a few longtime known 1:43 models in new colors. But what about release dates? How long are we already waiting for the fourth color of the Volvo P1800ES in 1:18? Way too many years in my eyes. 1:18

You can read Minichamps complete news-list by clicking here. Motorart Motorart has not completely stopped to offer Volvo cars. They have announced the Volvo V60 Polestar as well as the Volvo S60 STCC in various versions. The photos do show so far only pre-production models! 1:10
Neo Scale Models Neo Scale Models has presented only the Volvo 145 Polis which has already been manufactured and delivered to shops. But this doesn't mean anything. Their new company policy to announce models only when they are nearly finished and ready to be shipped to retailers and shops. 1:43
Norev Norev has presented three known models in new colors. It's quite a shame that their communication is very poor. 1:43
Oxford Diecast The British company Oxford Diecast has presented their first Volvo scale car. They have already a small number of modern Volvo trucks in their program. The first Volvo car they will offer is the classic 1st generation Volvo 245 estate. The model will be available in the very British scale of 1:76 which railroad modelers often call OO Gauge. The first color will be green. It might be in stock between April 2015 & June 2015. More color schemes will follow at a later date. 1:76 / OO Gauge
 Premium-X Models / Ixo / PCT Collectibles The label Premium-X continues with presenting photos of already announced Volvo models. There are however a few new models in between those : Volvo S80 in dark green metallic, Volvo 440 in silver metallic, Volvo 740 'Polis Stockholm' (S) and a red Volvo 855R. There will be certainly more news since they will offer every Volvo which will be offered in the Volvo Collection by Editions Atlas in new colors and/or liveries. Ixo is in fact producing all the models for the Volvo Collection by Editions Atlas. 1:43
Triple9Collection The Dutch label Triple9Collection continues with presenting photos of already announced Volvo models. A couple new models will certainly be announced this year. 1:43

Welly Welly has announced that they will offer the all-new Volvo X90 in two typical toy model scales : 1:36 and 1:64. They showed so far only photos of the actual car. So we have to wait for further info's regarding these models. 1:36

WhiteBox The label WhiteBox showed three Volvo's. Two of them - the Volvo P1900 Sport and the 145 estate - have already been announced. But it is the first time that we can see a photo of an upcoming Volvo P1800Es in blue metallic. 1:43

Rastar is offering their Volvo XC60 model in a new livery. The 1:14 scale R/C model is decorated as Chinese Police car. It is available under item # 31610. It is featured only on the Chinese written website. So I guess that this model is initially destined for that specific market. I have however seen that this model can be found in various international webstores.        
The German wholesaler Jamara is distributing the R/C products from the Chinese company Rastar for several months now. They offer every R/C model by Rastar also under their own name. The only thing who changes is the item number and apparently also the packaging. I was however not able to get any photos from Jamara. This means that I can only show you a product overview with the respective item numbers. Jamara was unfortunately not really interested in helping with any kind of information.

Rastar is offering 3 new models of the Volvo XC60 in 3 different scales.
As before these models are offered on the Chinese website but not on the Hong Kong one.
