It can’t be said that we are not super fans of Porsche! Today, Tamiya OFFICIALLY announced an upcoming NEW release scheduled to be released in late October, the PORSCHE 956 Group C race car from 1982 in 1/10 scale.This ALL-NEW polycarbonate body mold is mounted on our easy to assemble ABS plastic bathtub chassis with space frame and FRP plate construction as seen in previous Group C models released over the years!

Based around an ABS plastic bathtub, with space frames front and rear and FRP plates, the chassis is a composite design that offers a rigid base to back up the fluid suspension: the result is a crisp, responsive driving experience.
The model is powered by a Sport-Tuned motor and uses a direct drive setup with spur and pinion gear mated to a ball pressure plate differential for smooth cornering performance.
