Tamiya 24337 1/24 Gazoo Racing TRD 86 (2013 TRD Rally Challenge)

This is a plastic model kit, which comes unassembled and unpainted. So glue, model paints and other basic modelling tools are additionally required.

This is a scale replica model kit of the GAZOO Racing TRD (Toyota Racing Development) 86. The TRD 86 is a car based on the Toyota 86 and optioned out by TRD, Toyota's in-house tuning shop. This GAZOO Racing version of the car was run in the Japanese TRD Rally Challenge series of events, and is perhaps most notable for being driven by Toyota motor company president Akio Toyoda as his alter-ego "Morizo." He proved to be more than just a name, picking up two wins in the 5-race series on his way to the Championship for his class.

The Toyota 86 was released in April 2012, a front-engine rear-wheel drive sports car powered by a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine. Since then it has also enjoyed popularity in motorsports, including this GAZOO Racing vehicle which Morizo (aka Toyota president Akio Toyoda) piloted to 2 victories from 5 races in the 2013 TRD Rally challenge series, good enough to take his class' title.

The completed model measures about 177mm long and 84mm wide. It accurately captures dynamic form complete with mudflaps and twin exhaust. The opening engine hood displays realistic four-cylinder engine recreation. The interior features details such as the roll cage and bucket seat. Includes decals to recreate the red and black livery, plus sponsor markings. Comes with metal transfers.

Parts come molded in white, black and clear.
