The model car you see in the pictures is based on the Volkswagen Touran and is made in a 1/18 scale by Paudi. This detailed replica offers a precise representation of the original model that was produced from 2003 to 2015. The Volkswagen Touran, a compact MPV, was designed to offer both family-friendliness and functionality. Initially a concept, the Touran evolved into its final design crafted by Giacomo Mattioli and the Volkswagen team. Known for its practical and adaptable interior from the start, the Touran became praised for its reliable performance.
This specific model car in 1/18 scale by Paudi is crafted from diecast material, enhancing both its durability and authentic feel. It's important to mention that this model has been customized and does not represent the original product made by Paudi. An eye-catching detail of this miniature is the striking dual-tone design in red and white with the prominent "Nutella" logo on the side indicating a special paint job. The side doors and hood showcase precise lines that capture the original character of the Volkswagen Touran II. This specific color scheme makes the model unique and distinguishes it from standard versions.
A special highlight of this model is the evident modification of the wheels. The car is fitted with BBS aftermarket wheels that stand out with their distinctive design and red color. The choice of these wheels hints at their popularity among tuning enthusiasts who enjoy customizing the Volkswagen Touran II to their personal tastes. BBS is renowned for producing high-quality, performance-oriented wheels often used in the motorsport scene. Additionally, there are visible additional tuning markings and stickers on the hood and vehicle side. These modifications contribute to making this model car not just a collector's item but also a captivating piece of art.
The Volkswagen Touran from 2003 to 2015 boasted a range of impressive technical specifications and features. Under the hood of the original, there were petrol and diesel engine options, with the twincharged 1.4 TSI engine featuring supercharging and turbocharging generating significant interest. Moreover, the flexible interior design allowed for many adjustments, including foldable seats providing additional storage space. The advanced electronics, including a modern navigation system and driving assistance systems, made the Touran one of the most admired vehicles in its class. These technical aspects carry over into Paudi's precise replica in 1/18 scale, ensuring model car enthusiasts worldwide enjoy it.
