Here's hoping someone makes the G80 in IOMG with bi-color 825Ms.

Once I can get one without paying ~$40 in shipping to Canada, I'm all over the Portimao.

Hopefully the 1/18 will not be too far behind.

I finally received my 1/18 GT Spirit M4 Competition today in "all black" colours.
Whatever your thoughts on the actual car design itself, this is an excellent job done by GT Spirit and I am really pleased that they replicated actual mesh at the front around the kidney grilles rather than just plastic. Excellent detail on the wheels too. Here are some quick photos I took (not the best I am afraid!).

I am afraid not; the GT Spirit (and Top Speed) models are sealed resin models.

Edit: is it resin or die cast?

I believe there will be two versions released in 1/18. One version is a sealed die-cast version (cheaper) and the other is a openable die-cast version (this one). I spoke to a reliable friend in the trade and he advises that the Minichamps 1/18 should be out in January or February 2022.

I favor resin models, because they can get contour and trim details more accurate and detailed than most any die cast counterpart can achieve. That's about all I'm adding going forward. F90 becomes available soon, but I gotta believe GT Spirit will offer the M5 CS before all is said and done. That'd be the one to have (make mine frozen deep green)! |

I'm looking forward to the GT Spirit M5 too! I am sure it is just a matter of time before they announce the M5 CS. The Norev version was good but GT Spirit's looks a million times better in my opinion.

GT Spirit announce a 1/18 G82 M4 Competition with M Performance package in green (and also a 1/18 F90 M5 CS).
