1/24 Motor Max New Audi TT

One of my favorite sport cars is Audi TT, either the previous model or the latest one, because it has a unique body style which is like a combination of sporty and elegant look. The first time I saw the previous model, I stood in awe of it. In my opinion, it’s like a futuristic car. For instance as we look at the interior design, it’s like a spaceship. Compared to the latest model, the old one looks a bit fatty and round.

New Audi TT

I can’t deny the fact that the latest Audi TT looks hotter than the previous model. Of course comparison between the older and the newer model has a significant flaw as we’re trying to compare two things in different timeline. Thus, I want to make it clear that both the older and the newer Audi TT are amazing cars.

Motor Max's Audi TT with Fujimi's BBS LM

I got this 1:24 replica, fairly priced at AUD 20, from eBay UK three months ago. When it came to my hands, I was saddened that the left side mirror was broken. As I claimed it to the seller, I got AUD 4 refunded ^^ So I got it pretty cheap for this car. Then I fixed the mirror with superglue to get it sit firmly. The standard wheels are OKAY but as I have spare Fujimi BBS LM 18 inch wheels, I replaced the original ones with Fujimi’s.


Pefect color for Audi TT, thanks to Motor Max!

No details on the back light, just red plastic cover

No side windows as usual 1/24 diecast

Engine hood is easily 'openable'

Engine detail is superb among 1/24 diecasts

Its interior quality is equivalent to Maisto's R8

I strongly recommend to get youself this Audi TT, expecially for those who is a fan of Audi.
Thanks for looking.

1/24 Maisto Audi R8

Priced at RM49.90 and is readily available at most departmental stores. Not bad at all for that price. Interior details is good for this price range, but the wheels could have been better. Available colors are white with black sideblades and light blue with silver sideblades. A red with black sideblades would look good too. And one problem with Maisto is that their engines are not as 3D as bBurago's , but I guess it's a fair trade off for better wheels when compared to bBurago's. Enjoy the pictures.


Side profile.


The rear end. The 1/18 version's rear spoiler can be popped up.



The front view. Also very well done. For a sub RM50 car, that is.
The interior shot. Notice that even the pedals were painted silver.

The R8 logo on the ledge. Small touches goes a long way.
The only letdown. The engine sure does look good, but it is only semi 3D. But I am not complaining.
The wheels do look good, but I guess it can still be improved. Maybe on the R8 V10?
