NEW RELEASES

You will be able to find here news about the latest Volvo scale models which have been announced or just been released.

Volvo P1800 ES Rocket (Frua) by Premium-X

7/11/2016

0 Comments

 
Premium-X has released a rtr model of the Volvo P1800 ES 'Rocket'. This Volvo concept car is available as 1:43 scale model. It is made out of resin and not diecast. Premium-X offers the scale model for 49.95 € under item number PR0494R.
The Italian coach builder Carozzerria Pietro Frua designed and built this prototype back in 1968. This shooting brake prototype was nicknamed the 'Rocket' because of its shape. It was built from a coupe taken from the production line and sent to Frua in Italy for this prototype to be built. The original car was white then repainted gold by Frua. It has been resprayed metallic blue and can be seen today in the Volvo Museum in Göteborg (Sweden). The prototype was listed as project P183. Volvo declined the Rocket for production because it was 'too radical'.
This scale model will not be part of the  Volvo Collection by Editions. My guess is however that Premium-X will release this model also in another color since the first two models were painted white and gold.
