This is the Ford Mustang 5.0 GT #33 DTM 1993 Gerd Ruch in 1:18 scale by WERK 83.
The 1993 Ford Mustang 5.0 GT #33 was driven by German privateer Gerd Ruch, a fan-favorite who competed in the fiercely competitive DTM with his own Ruch Motorsport team. While factory-backed entries from Mercedes-Benz, Alfa Romeo, and Opel dominated the championship, Ruch earned admiration for campaigning the powerful American V8-powered Mustang against the European touring car elite. What made the Mustang truly unique was its thunderous 5.0-liter naturally aspirated V8, producing well over 500 horsepower, along with its unmistakable muscular styling and spectacular flames that occasionally shot from the side exhausts under hard acceleration. Although it was less refined than its rivals, the Mustang's raw power, unforgettable sound, and underdog spirit made it one of the most iconic and beloved cars in DTM history.
