Tamiya's Classic Reimagining: The VW Karmann Ghia

The Tamiya 58677 VW Karmann Ghia expertly captures the essence of an automotive classic. This RC model is a tribute to the iconic Volkswagen coupe, which shares its lineage with the beloved Beetle. With a body crafted by Italian design house Ghia and built by German manufacturer Karmann, the original vehicle was a masterpiece of style and engineering. Now, Tamiya brings this legend to life on the M-06L chassis, offering enthusiasts a true-to-life driving experience.

Performance Meets Precision: M-06L Chassis

The M-06L chassis is engineered for rear-wheel drive enthusiasts, featuring a rear-mounted motor configuration that mirrors the original car's setup. This layout, combined with a longitudinally mounted battery and optimally positioned R/C components, ensures balanced handling and a low center of gravity. The 4-wheel double wishbone suspension enhances stability and agility, while the 60D radial tires at the front and 60D super grip tires at the rear provide superior grip and control. The chassis also includes a 3-piece steering linkage for precise maneuverability and a robust bumper for added protection.

Authenticity in Every Detail

Reflecting Tamiya's commitment to realism, the VW Karmann Ghia model features a lightweight polycarbonate body with separate plated parts for mirrors, bumpers, and light cases. The kit includes marking stickers and window masking stickers to aid in the painting process, allowing hobbyists to personalize their model with Tamiya PS paint. The model's 239mm wheelbase ensures a perfect scale representation of the original vehicle.
