Agreed, but it will never happen.

Please put out a nice BG one! I’ll powder coat the wheels!

Ok, there is or will be at least some ZF blue and red diecast G87's. Anyone seen a black one yet?

That’s just a terrible preview picture.
Google the manufacturer number that is there and you will see it is actually the G87 - they announced it a while back. 1:43 and 1:18 versions should be out by the end of the year

Edit:

Minichamps has pictures live already:

Minichamps release pictures of the 1/18 scale version.

You know most of you guys can look out your window and see a 1/1 scale M2 right? 😂

Yes but I can't put a 1/1 scale version on my work desk. Thinking more on this, I probably need a G87 poster for one of my office walls too.

I have definitely looked for one. Have not found one I would actually put up yet.

Maybe the answer is to make a poster of your own car? My buddy made some cartoonish type image posters for his BMW 2002. They turned out really nice. I should just do that

Any word yet on a release date... ?

[weopm]

nothing, still tbd on the minichamps page. best guess would be march-july 25 looking at the release slots of other models...

also the solido 1:43 version should have been out by the end of october, no sighting as of yet except for preorders.

Matchbox 1:64 version is going to be in the first cases of 2025, so might show up here and there already.

i just want a decently priced scale model of my car!!

I recently received my G87 M2 M Performance Edition in 1/18 scale and here are some photos of it.

I really wish the GT Spirit cars were as detailed as the Mini Champs versions. When I pay that much, it should have doors + a front hood that opens up.

Updated stills of the Minichamps 1/18 scale red variant.

Roughly speaking, resin models, such as those made by GT Spirit are cheaper from a price perspective than the die-cast metal / fully openable versions from Minichamps.
Resin models are also quicker to manufacturer so get to market much quicker than the die-cast metal/open versions.
