Audi 90 IMSA GTO #5 2nd 1989 Laguna Seca H. Haywood in 1:18 scale
This is the Audi 90 IMSA GTO #5 2nd 1989 Laguna Seca H. Haywood in 1:18 scale by WERK83.
The Audi 90 IMSA GTO #5, driven by endurance racing legend Hurley Haywood, secured a strong second-place finish at the 1989 Laguna Seca round of the IMSA GTO Championship. The Audi 90 GTO was a technological marvel, featuring a turbocharged 2.2L five-cylinder engine producing nearly 720 horsepower and Audi’s signature Quattro all-wheel-drive system, which gave it a significant traction advantage over its rear-wheel-drive rivals. The Laguna Seca race was particularly challenging due to the circuit’s famous Corkscrew turn, a steep downhill chicane that tested both car balance and driver skill. Despite stiff competition from American muscle cars like the Ford Mustang and Mercury Cougar, Haywood’s performance showcased Audi’s engineering prowess, proving that the Quattro system could be just as dominant on tarmac as it was in rallying.
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.
