BMW M3 Sport Evolution Cecotto (E30) in Red (1:18 scale)
- To celebrate the competition victories of factory driver Johnny Cecotto, BMW launched a special version of the E30 M3 in 1989 that was named in his honour. This model introduced the 215 bhp version of the 2.3 litre S14 catalytic engine with 170 lb/ft of torque. All M3 Cecottos were painted either Misano Red, Macao Blue or Nogaro Silver & carried the Evolution II front & rear spoilers. They were further distinguished by their 7.5 x 16 inch BBS wheels.
On the inside, the Cecotto version had the half-leather Motorsport seats, an onboard computer, illuminated gear knob, special door sill plates with M3 insignia & a numbered plaque on the centre console featuring Cecotto"s signature. A total of 480 of these were built for the European market but not the UK.
