Back in the ’90s, when boy bands ruled the radio and racing sedans wore boxy suits, the Audi A4 quattro was out there not playing around. Despite rocking a humble inline-four, it clobbered the competition across Europe’s Super Touring series, thanks to its grippy all-wheel-drive and the kind of cornering that made others cry into their pit radios.
Fast forward to 2025, and Matchbox has shrunk that legend down into a slick little die-cast beast you can actually afford. The Matchbox Collectors 1996 Audi A4 Super Touring comes dressed in silver ZAMAC, rides on gold Euro wheels, and sits on a full-metal black chassis—because even mini touring cars deserve full-metal glory.
The details? Chef’s kiss. Lightly smoked windows, black interior, and it comes housed in a fancy acrylic case that screams “collector’s shelf,” not “toy bin.” At just US$25, it’s cheaper than your last oil change and way more fun.
So if you missed the Super Touring era—or just want to relive it in 1:64 scale—this is your chance to own a tiny piece of quattro-powered history. Just don’t try to race it around your desk… or do. We won’t judge.
