CITROEN ZX 16 V "RED"

The Team Slot Citroën ZX 16V: a 90s classic on your track

With reference PDV01013402, Team Slot brings back one of the most charismatic compacts in Citroën's history: the ZX 16V, here in its striking red version. A model that appeals to both the collector seeking a museum piece and the enthusiast wanting to enjoy it on track with a car of character and unmistakable silhouette.

Features and highlights

• Solid red body: uniform and glossy paint that faithfully covers the wheel arches, optics, and details of the original line.
• 1:32 scale: the most widespread standard in the slot world, compatible with the main track brands on the market.
• Faithfulness to the street model: Team Slot reproduces the proportions and stylistic features of the production ZX 16V, without compromises.
• Ideal base for customization: the solid and clean finish makes it an excellent starting point for those wanting to apply their own competition decoration.

Scale and level of detail

Team Slot has been building a solid reputation in the classic and sports touring car segment at 1:32 scale for years. In this Citroën ZX 16V, the attention to exterior details is evident: the light clusters, mirrors, and window frames are treated with the rigor expected by the most demanding collectors. The lightweight body also contributes to dynamic behaviour on track, especially in medium-radius corners and technical club circuits.

Track performance

The Team Slot ZX 16V is designed for racing. Its adapted chassis for slot and mass distribution make it manageable for both novice drivers and those seeking a classic touring car for long runs. It is a car that benefits from careful setup: checking the braid pressure and guide adjustment before each session makes the difference between erratic behaviour and smooth driving.

Ideal for…

• Collectors of 90s sports touring cars in 1:32 scale.
• Slot enthusiasts looking for a street model with its own personality.
• Club racers wanting a classic touring car for production car categories.
• Those wishing for a clean base on which to apply their own decoration with Vallejo, Tamiya or similar paints.

Aspects to consider

As it is a street version with a solid red finish, this model does not include competition decoration or sponsors. If you are looking for a rally or race version of the ZX, it is advisable to check the rest of Team Slot's catalogue. For optimal performance on track, we recommend checking the condition of the braids and lubricating the rear axle moderately before the first running sessions.
