Developed in collaboration with Cosworth, the Ascona B 400 features a potent 2.4-liter engine producing around 240 horsepower, paired with rear-wheel drive and a robust suspension setup. This configuration provided exceptional handling and performance on challenging rally stages. Unique for its time, the Ascona B 400 was homologated for Group 4 rallying, and its success culminated in winning the 1982 World Rally Championship with driver Walter Röhrl.

visible. Photo etched parts, die-cutting, tampo printing and waterslide decals are often used for a most
authentic replication.
