POP RACE SILVER

A GREAT EXAMPLE OF THE CAR IN STOCK FORM AND COLOUR IS THIS KNOCKOUT PIECE IN 1/64

From nose to rear this is a great replication of the widebody TURBO Starion which was the HALO car for MITSUBISHI during the 80’s and was propelled to stardom in the petrolhead move sequel Cannonball Run 2. In the movie the car was touted to be a highly technological car that was packed with gizmos and gadgets. Fiction imitating fact? The Starion was the first Japanese car to use ECU controlled fuel injection and turbo management so, in real life it was quite cutting edge.

Unfortunately, the curse about being a model collector means you can only look at the car and imagine what the sound and power must be like but when you have something that looks this real you still derive a bit of pleasure from being able to own your own STARION. Relea sed on the Global64 line which means rolling wheels and you can race them I especially love the little details that POP Race have gotten perfect. The 80’s Rims that are sooo Mitsubishi, the nice low stance, the plastic indicator lights. A lot of little things that work perfectly together. I used to like the Starion, but this POP Race model is really egging me on now to actually own a 1:1 model.
