About This Product:
After unveiling a highly praised refresh of their iconic livery ahead of the 2025 Repco Supercars Championship season, the Shell V-Power Racing Team surprised fans with an unexpected livery change for Round Three at the ITM Taupo Super 440 in New Zealand.
For the New Zealand round only, the familiar colours and branding of Shell V-Power were replaced by Jet Couriers, with a striking maroon and white livery featuring Jet Couriers branding on the doors, bonnet, and roof. The livery also included a special nod to the NZ round, with a stylised version of the iconic silver fern displayed on the car and “NZ” positioned beneath the event logos on both doors.
New partner logos also appeared on the livery for the NZ event, including BK Trading Australia on the headlights, Help.com on the sides of the rear bar, and Greyhound Australia on the rear. Other notable changes included updated Doric NZ logos on the mirrors and a uniquely coloured stylised ‘KO5T3KI’ numberplate on the front bar, as part of the team’s partnership with PPQ.
Still entered as the Shell V-Power Racing Team for the NZ round, and with the iconic Shell Pecten logo retained on the front bar of the No. 38 Mustang, it marked the first time a Dick Johnson Racing entry had not run in a full Shell V-Power Racing Team livery since the beginning of 2017.
Racing at the event where the team secured the prestigious Jason Richards Trophy in 2024, this new-look Mustang is a must-have for collectors wanting to keep their Dick Johnson Racing collections up to date.
The Taupo Super 440 was Kostecki's most successful round to date for Dick Johnson Racing, securing two pole positions for race 9 and 10 of the championship, and a third place finish for race 9 where he shared the podium with team mate Will Davison who finished in second place.
This 1:18 scale model has been produced in high quality die-cast with opening parts which includes the bonnet and both the driver and passenger doors.
A highly detailed racing cockpit can be seen through the molded clear glasshouse, or by opening the doors to examine the interior further. Under the bonnet includes a detailed 5.4-litre Coyote quad overhead cam V8 and engine bay surround. Underneath the model, the undercarriage details the unique Gen3 floorpan.
Comprised of roughly 204 individual metal and plastic parts, with anywhere between 100-200 steps in paint and decoration finishing, including tampo printing where possible, photo etched parts including the bonnet pints, brake rotors and more, this is a high quality, detailed collectors model.
It will come in an exclusive, one-off limited edition with an individually numbered Certificate of Authenticity presented in its own, Authentic Collectables branded protective cardboard folder.
