Assim como fez no Salão de Paris deste ano, a Peugeot está usando miniaturas para ajudar a contar um pouco dos seus 200 anos. Assim, modelinhos na escala 1/18 fazem uma linha de evolução da marca. Abaixo, alguns exemplos:
Pena que a Peugeot até mostra uma mini do 207 nacional (abaixo), na escala 1/43, mas não a está vendendo...
Outra marca francesa, a Renault, também exibe em suas vitrines modelinhos interessantes nas escalas 1/43 e "3 polegadas", que é algo parecido com o 1/64. Há até mini do Sandero. Veja a seguir...

English: New Fiat Uno in reduced scale
Fiat of Brazil introduces the Brazilian new Uno diecast model. The model has two versions (Uno and Uno Way) and was manufactured in a 1/43 scale by Norev and depicts the new Uno in detail. The real size car was developed in Brazil and it is manufactured in the Brazilian Fiat factory in Betim.
The model launch in reduced scale is part Fiat of Brazil strategy, which has used diecast models in the last years to disseminate among journalists and potential clients its new car models manufactured in the country. This same strategy was used when the models Punto, Linea and Idea were launched. In the Idea diecast model the interior replicates the inside design of the real Brazilian car, while the one in Europe is based on the real European Idea model. Norev manufactured all these miniatures.
In the case of the new Uno’s miniature, it is even more exclusive, since it replicates a vehicle that only exists in Brazil….in other words, a novelty for the whole world.
Last year Fiat decided also to use miniatures as gifts when the imported 500 model was launched in Brazil. In that occasion the diecast model was manufactured by Mondo Motors in a 1/43 scale.
