Carisma Unveils 95668 M48S Audi Sport Quattro S1 1985 Night Rally Edition

6x Front Headlamp LED module package with remote on/off control—now officially licensed Audi + Hella

Carisma is pleased to announce the all-new 95668 M48S Audi Sport Quattro S1 1985 Night Rally Edition, bringing a premium night-rally experience to the popular 1/8 M48S Official Licensed platform.

Designed for drivers who love show, precision handling, and dramatic realism after dark, the Night Rally Edition builds on the proven M48S performance platform—while adding an iconic lighting upgrade fit for the legend.

Key Night Rally Edition Features

1) 6 x Front Headlamps—Iconic LED Light System

With the name Night Rally Edition, this Audi Sport Quattro S1 1985 model now includes six (6) front headlamps featuring an enhanced LED module setup.

This lighting package is not only visually stunning—it is also officially licensed, featuring :

Hella GmbH & Co. KGaA licensing for the use of the Hella logo and the iconic Rallye 3000 lighting references.

Notes on Rallye 3000:
The Rallye 3000 is recognized as an iconic rally lighting concept associated with historic rally competition—known for its distinctive beam-style headlamp look and unmistakable period presence on rally machines.

2) Remote LED On/Off via CTX-8000 SYNC Button

Just like the Night Rally concept introduced with the Subaru model, this Audi Night Rally Edition adds remote on/off control for the LED lights.

Using the CTX-8000 SYNC button, you can activate or switch off the LED lights remotely—adding a new level of realism when driving at night.

And with the previously announced M48S Subaru WRC 1997 Night Rally Edition, drivers can now create head-to-head “battle” moments—Audi vs Subaru—by controlling lights during a chase.

3) Adjustable Wheelbase (3mm) for Tight Turns & Precision

With the updated Night Rally chassis tuning, the model features a 285mm wheelbase that is adjustable by 3mm using the new suspension arms.

This means you can fine-tune handling to suit the track—whether you want to attack tight turns with confidence or power slide long sweeps for that rally-style momentum.

4) Period-Correct 5-Spoke Wheels

To complete the look, the Night Rally Edition includes period-correct 5-spoke wheels that match the era styling of the Audi Sport Quattro S1—delivering the right balance of scale realism and on-track presence.

Proven Platform, Ready for Night Rally Racing

Built on the same trusted M48S foundation, the 95668 Audi Night Rally Edition remains performance-focused with:

M48S chassis
All-metal differentials
550 size BL motor
3S-friendly ESC

In short: it’s not only beautiful—it’s built to run hard, tune easily, and dominate after dark.

Conquer the Night Rally

Conquer the night rally with the all-new 95668 M48S Audi Sport Quattro S1 1985 Night Rally Edition and enjoy controlling the spotlight—one remote LED command at a time.

We've utilized a new 550 Big Can Brushless Motor, offering both RPM and Torque.

To power this we've updated the ESC to use 2 or 3S LiPo as standard, and when combined with the 2.4Ghz F.H.S.S Radio Gear and 3 Diff 4WD all metal driveline, offers a robust and true rally driving experience like no other.

The car is a ARR, so just add your own choice of 7.2v NiMH, 7.4v LiPO or 11.1v LiPO.

The body has been faithfully reproduced using original design data, and we've ensured it's as accurate as possible, including all the down-force generating aero package, it's SWB dimensions, different screen angle to the LWB Quattro and it's complete replica livery to complete the accurate and truly photo-realistic looks.

The final result is truly stunning, and the perfect collectible, yet functional 1/8^th RC car.

Run on 7.4v 2S initially to get a feel for the cars handling, and then when the time is right move to 3S for more wheel-speed, acceleration and torque.
