Your vote counts: Which 1:8 scale premium kit comes next?

Dear scale modelling community,

It is that time again: a new large-scale 1:8 project is in the starting blocks – and as always, we want you to decide which model will be landing on the workbenches next!

One thing is certain from the outset: we make no compromises whatsoever when it comes to quality. As usual, you can expect an absolute top-class kit:

High-quality metal: Solid construction for a realistic weight and superb feel.
Perfectly painted: Flawless finishes directly out of the box.
Pure mechanical joy: no glue, no frustration – 100% % bolted assembly.
Perfectly organised: Every component and screw clearly arranged and packaged within easy reach.

Now the choice is yours. We have put forward eight absolute dream cars from four different eras:

1. Pre-war classic

Bugatti Type 57SC Atalante: The complete symbiosis of 1930s aerodynamic elegance, luxury and French engineering.

The Bugatti Type 57SC Atalante is the ultimate masterpiece of 1930s French automotive art. Designed by Jean Bugatti, the coupé combines flowing, aerodynamic elegance with absolute luxury. The „S“ stands for Lowered (lowered), the „C“ for Compressor – a supercharger that catapulted the eight-cylinder engine to a breath-taking 200 hp. With its dramatically curved silhouette and exclusive appointments, this rare classic remains an unmatched icon of power, style and engineering.

Mercedes-Benz SSK: The legendary supercharged racing car – one of the most powerful and imposing automobiles in pre-war history.

The Mercedes-Benz SSK („Super-Sport-Kurz“) is an absolute legend of pre-war history. Developed in the late 1920s by Ferdinand Porsche, among others, this racing car was born for the track. Its centerpiece, a gigantic 7.1-litre straight-six engine with a switchable supercharger, unleashed a soul-stirring roar and up to 300 hp. With its shortened wheelbase, the SSK was extremely agile, brutally fast, and visually an imposing presence. An uncompromising powerhouse that paved the way for the „Silver Arrows“ myth.

2. The swinging 60s

Ferrari 250 GT SWB: One of the most successful and aesthetically pleasing Gran Turismos of all time.

Jaguar E-Type Lightweight: The uncompromising, weight-optimised racing version of the British style icon.

The Jaguar E-Type Lightweight is the radical racing version of the British style icon. For motorsport in the early 1960s, the heavy steel body was replaced by ultralight aluminium. The 3.8-litre straight-six engine also received an aluminium block, delivering around 300 bhp. Completely stripped of luxury, this coupé breathes pure motorsport DNA. With only twelve originals built, the uncompromising Lightweight is today an extremely rare legend that combines breathtaking design and brute performance on the track.

3. Motorsport Legends (Racing)

Ford Capri Group 5 The extremely wide, fire-spitting DRM cult monster of the late 70s and early 80s.

The Ford Capri Group 5 is the ultimate cult monster of the German Racing Championship (DRM). Developed by Zakspeed, this late-70s and early-80s racing car had very little in common with the production model anymore. Extremely wide wheel arches, a gigantic rear wing and a low-slung chassis defined its spectacular appearance. Powered by a 1.4-litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine, the lightweight machine produced over 450 bhp. Famous for its deafening sound and metre-long exhaust flames, the turbo Capri remains a legendary icon of wild motorsport.

Mercedes-Benz 190E 2.5-16 DTM: The unforgettable touring car icon with its striking rear wing and pure 90s DTM spirit.

The Mercedes-Benz 190E 2.5-16 DTM is the unforgettable touring car icon of the early 1990s. In its ultimate development stage as the „Evolution II“, the racing machine fascinated with its striking, monumental rear wing and radically flared wheelarches. The 2.5-litre 16-valve inline four-cylinder engine, co-developed with Cosworth, produced well over 300 bhp in the racing version and revved up to 10,000 rpm. Legendary duels against the BMW M3 shaped the pure DTM spirit of this era, which Mercedes crowned with its first championship title in 1992.

4. Modern Icons (Current Highlights)

Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG: The modern gullwing with a brutal naturally aspirated V8 – a milestone in modern sports car engineering.

The Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG is the spectacular reinterpretation of the legendary gullwing. As the first automobile developed entirely independently by AMG, it set benchmarks from 2010 onwards. The heart of the super sports car is the brute 6.2-litre V8 naturally aspirated engine, which delivers up to 571 hp and fascinates with its deep, thunderous roar. Its extremely long bonnet, the cockpit set far back and the iconic gullwing doors make it a visual work of art. A true milestone and modern classic of enduring value.

Porsche 911 (992) GT3 RS: The cutting edge of current trackday performance with uncompromising aerodynamics

The Porsche 911 (992) GT3 RS is the uncompromising spearhead of current track-day performance. Its visual and technical highlight is the extreme, active aerodynamics including DRS, dominated by a monumental, swan-neck-mounted rear wing that delivers massive downforce. Powered by a high-revving 4.0-litre six-cylinder naturally aspirated boxer engine with 525 PS, the RS craves the racetrack. Consistent lightweight design and suspension adapted directly from motorsport make it the ultimate road-legal racing machine.
