Carrera Digital 124 Mercedes-AMG C63 DTM " Mercedes-AMG DTM Team HWA - Edoardo Mortara"
Item No. 23882
The most successful team in the history of the DTM
Perhaps the most visually stunning newcomer in the 124-speed sector this year is the red Mercedes of Edoardo Montara. In 2017 and 2018, the Swiss-born Italian drove for the HWA team.
The HWA team is based in Affalterbach and is part of the HWA Aktiengesellschaft.
On its website, the company advertises itself with the following sentence: “Automobile manufacturer, development partner, motorsport specialist, engineering expert, support service provider – behind the three letters HWA lie many facets.”
HWA was, and is, better known as the "Mercedes AMG Motor Sport DTM Team." Or simply AMG (AMG stands for Aufrecht and Melker Großasbach, the two names of the founders and the founder's birthplace).
AMG was founded in 1967, and its motorsport activities were transferred to HWA AG, founded by Hans Werner Aufrecht, in 1998.
HWA is the most successful team in the long history of the DTM. I quote from the DTM website: "Since its factory entry into the DTM in 1988, the Mercedes-AMG Motorsport DTM team has collected ten drivers' titles, 13 teams' titles, and six manufacturers' titles. During the same period, Mercedes-AMG Motorsport DTM drivers have won 181 races, including 104 one-two finishes. The team also coached five-time champion Bernd Schneider, the most successful DTM driver of all time." At the end of 2018, Mercedes officially withdrew from the DTM. HWA continues, and since 2019, HWA has been responsible for the development and racing of the Aston Martin Vantage DTM cars of the R-Motorsport team.
A few words about the model:
The AMG is almost identical to the original. Only two things differ slightly from the original: The color is difficult to match in production; in my opinion, it should be a bit more intense, or rather, a more brilliant red. The chrome vertical ribs in the radiator grille are missing. The tires have the authentic Hancock logo; at least there's a tire manufacturer here that hasn't had the model car manufacturers gild their logo. A special highlight is the superbly printed driver figure inside the car, a detail that unfortunately isn't visible during the race.
