In short

Werk83's 1:18 scale model reproduces Hans Joachim Stuck's championship-winning Audi V8 Quattro No. 44 from the 1990 DTM season, the car that secured the Drivers' Championship for Stuck.

The 1990 Deutsche Tourenwagen Meisterschaft marked a watershed moment in touring car history, and car No. 44 sat at the centre of it. This 1:18 die-cast by Werk83 captures the Team Schmidt Motorsport Technik entry driven by Hans Joachim Stuck — the machine that brought Audi its first DTM Drivers' Championship and ignited a regulatory controversy that would reshape the series for years.

A Production Silhouette Hiding a Racing Machine

The Audi V8 Quattro (Type 4C) was a full-size luxury sedan; its DTM variant retained that production body silhouette, as the series regulations required. Beneath the standard steel shell sat a naturally aspirated V8, paired with a full roll cage and extensive chassis modifications. Critically, Audi retained its permanent four-wheel-drive Quattro system — a configuration no other competitor fielded in the DTM at the time.

The Season That Changed DTM's Rules

Hans Joachim Stuck took the 1990 DTM Drivers' Championship for Team Schmidt Motorsport Technik. The Quattro system's traction advantage — decisive in wet conditions — drew immediate protests from rival manufacturers running rear-wheel-drive cars. The controversy was significant enough that four-wheel-drive was subsequently banned from the series, making the 1990 championship a unique, unrepeatable moment in touring car regulations. Stuck, a veteran of Formula 1 and Le Mans, added this title to one of German motorsport's most decorated careers.

Werk83's Die-Cast Interpretation at 1:18

Werk83's 1:18 die-cast models are recognised among collectors for accurate livery rendering and the integration of resin and photo-etched detail components alongside the metal body. This release reproduces car No. 44 in the Team Schmidt Motorsport Technik livery as raced in the 1990 DTM season. The combination of mixed materials and surface fidelity positions Werk83's output at the detailed end of the die-cast segment.

Frequently asked questions

What is the significance of car No. 44 in the 1990 DTM?

Car No. 44 was Hans Joachim Stuck's entry for Team Schmidt Motorsport Technik. Stuck won the 1990 DTM Drivers' Championship with it — the brand's first DTM Drivers' Championship.

Why was the Audi V8 Quattro controversial in DTM?

It was the only car in the field running four-wheel drive. The Quattro system gave a measurable traction advantage, particularly in wet conditions, and rival manufacturers objected strongly enough that four-wheel drive was banned from DTM after the 1990 season.

What material is the model made from?

The model is die-cast metal, with additional resin and photo-etched detail parts — a construction method typical of Werk83's 1:18 releases.
