This is the Opel Calibra V6 #7 Race 1 Hockenheim DTM ITC 1996 in 1:18 scale by WERK83.
The Opel Calibra V6, entered by Team Joest with car number 7, secured victory in Race 1 at Hockenheim during the 1996 DTM/ITC season, driven by Manuel Reuter. Reuter, a skilled German driver, showcased his expertise in touring car racing, having previously achieved success in endurance racing, including a Le Mans victory. The 1996 season was unique as it marked the final year of the ITC (International Touring Car Championship) before its discontinuation due to high costs. Hockenheim, known for its high-speed straights and technical stadium section, provided a thrilling battle between Opel, Mercedes, and Alfa Romeo, with Reuter’s victory solidifying Opel’s competitiveness in one of touring car racing’s most dramatic eras.
This model is hand painted and polished to a beautiful finish and has a sealed body. These diecast
models are exceptionally accurate of scale, shape and detail. Interior detail is hand assembled and easily
visible. Photo etched parts, die-cutting, tampo printing and waterslide decals are often used for a most
authentic replication.
