Tamiya Volvo 850 Turbo Estate 1/24 Scale

Less than two years after the introduction of the 850 GLT in 4-door sedan form, the 5-door estate car version was unveiled in February 1993.The design of the 850 estate showed a rear section with a typical Volvo profile, that is to say an almost vertical tailgate - a practical feature which maximises interior space.

The Volvo 850 GLT received a tumultuous welcome; seldom has a new car reaped so many awards as the 850. The estate car version was awarded the prestigious Japanese "1994 Good Design Grand Prize" award.Over the intervening years, the 850 series has expanded with more than just the estate car version. The range now includes a wider selection of engines, including turbocharged petrol units and a direct-injection turbo-diesel.
