OttOmobile’s mammoth project is finally ready for sale! The 1:18 Renault AE 500 Magnum is majestic in size and the project measures the same in R&D and manufacturing as the OttOmobile brand hints. Seems this will be a one-off project, with only 999 pieces being produced. First 500 are ready to ship as of March 10th, the remaining 499 are scheduled for resale at a later date. Retail is just under 180 Euro. Question, are you motivated to buy one?
About the Renault AE 500 Magnum… “Renault Trucks revolutionised the lorry industry back in 1990 with its AE (Magnum) series. Thanks to innovative concepts – some might even say alien concepts – the Magnum changed lorry drivers’ lives. Pneumatically suspended, the cabin was spacious and had a perfectly flat floorboard, a first for its era. Dubbed unanimously the “year 2000 lorry” by the press, the Magnum was given the title of “International Truck of the Year” in 1991. After a number of redesigns, the Magnum finally bowed out in 2013, replaced by the T series.”
