Scale and level of detail

TeamSlot is a Spanish brand of recognised prestige in the slot world for its attention to historical detail and the quality of its decorations. This model follows that line: bodywork with precise tampo prints that reproduce the original livery, correct proportions, and that unmistakable look of the Group A ZX 16v that achieved such success in national asphalt rallies during the 90s.

Track performance

The TeamSlot Citroën ZX 16v performs well on both Scalextric or Ninco track types and more demanding setups. Its short wheelbase and the characteristic weight distribution of this brand's models make it responsive in tight corners and stable in acceleration sections. It is a car that rewards clean driving and, with a basic setup, can be very competitive in the classic category of any club championship.

Ideal for…

• Collectors looking to represent 90s national rallying with quality pieces and historical accuracy.
• Club racers wanting to compete in Classic Rally categories with a car that has personality.
• Fans of Galician and national rallying who experienced or closely follow the history of these events.

Considerations

As with any collectible slot model, it is advisable to check the guide and braids before the first track sessions to ensure optimal electrical contact. If you plan to display it in a case, avoid direct sunlight to preserve the tampo prints of the decoration in the long term.

The Rallye Ciudad de La Coruña and the Citroën ZX 16v

The Rallye Ciudad de La Coruña was one of the most important events on the Galician regional calendar during the 90s, with national projection. Its technical asphalt stages, often marked by the Atlantic climate and the variety of layouts, made this event a demanding scenario where Group A cars found their natural habitat. The Citroën ZX 16v was, in that context, one of the most used vehicles by private and semi-official teams: its reliable chassis, atmospheric sixteen-valve engine, and overall balance placed it above many rivals in events where consistency was as important as top speed. The 1996 edition is etched in the memory of Galician fans as one of those events where the ZX demonstrated why it remained a reference in national rallying even as new generations of cars began to emerge.
