In many ways, late-model sport-wagons and hot-hatches have become the new muscle cars of the millennial generation. The slick styling of many of these cars has changed the boring stereotypes associated with wagons and hatchbacks, while their nimble handling and potent turbocharged engines give them enough performance to surprise owners of many traditional “fast” cars. DNA Collectibles knows it, and they have announced a pair of cars with five doors and plenty of guts. First is the 2005 Saab 9-5 Sportcombi with the Swedish aerospace firm’s facelifted Aero styling, and a 260hp 2.3L Turbo engine makes sure it takes advantage of those advanced aerodynamics! From Audi comes the ultimate hot hatch—the RS3. Ingolstadt’s signature Quattro all-wheel-drive system is needed to harness the fire-breathing RS3’s 335hp turbo 5-cylinder, and special Recaro seats keep the passengers planted while it rips around corners. The looks of both of these euro-wagons are replicated in precision 1:18 sealed resin with detailed interiors and trim throughout. Both are available for pre-order now.
