Audi Sport Quattro S1 Rally Monte Carlo 1986 H. Mikkola / A. Hertz – 1:18 Scale Diecast Model by AUTOart

AUTOart was established in 1998.[1] Other lines of diecast vehicles formerly associated with AUTOart were Gateway, Gate and UT Models. The latter was originally a German company with diecast cars made in China and associated with Paul's Model Art which produces scale models under the Minichamps brand. AUTOart currently makes composite (ABS + diecast) model cars, switching to the material after formerly producing diecast models.[2] The car models have been divided over time into various series, including the Millennium series, Performance series and Signature series. In addition to scale models, the brand also produces automobilia like 'shock absorber' pens, carbon fiber tissue boxes, household items, and clocks in the form of a disc brake rotor with caliper. AUTOart has produced more than 45 different car marques in nine different scales. Sizes generally range from 1:64 scale (2 to 3 inches long) to 1:12 scale (about 12 to 14 inches).[3] Fine details such as carpeting, seat belts, door handles, engines, suspension, sun visors and door/hood/trunk lid dampers are reproduced.
