Tamiya 1/24 Toyota Gazoo Racing TS050 Hybrid

The TS050 HYBRID, developed by TOYOTA GAZOO Racing, is a sports prototype car featuring a carbon fiber monocoque and a closed cockpit body. Its hybrid powertrain consists of a midship 2.4-liter twin-turbo direct injection V6 engine, a high-powered lithium-ion battery, and Motor Generator Units (MGUs) located on the front and rear axles. In 2018, this car showcased outstanding performance and reliability, achieving remarkable results. Now, the TS050 HYBRID, which has etched a new chapter in Japanese motorsports history, is an exciting new addition to Tamiya's extensive 1/24 Sports Car Series. The model beautifully captures the meticulously refined aerodynamic design of the TS050 HYBRID, allowing enthusiasts to gain a true appreciation for the intricacies of this championship-winning car.

This plastic model assembly kit is designed in a 1/24 scale, with dimensions of 194mm in length, 80mm in width, and 58mm in height. The kit accurately reproduces the sleek and refined form of the car, complete with various aerodynamic parts. To facilitate painting, the center cowl is split into separate parts that can be painted in different colors. Additionally, decals are included to add red livery sections to the model, along with carbon fiber pattern decals for added detail. The comprehensive decal sheet allows for the creation of either the No.7 or No.8 car. The kit also provides masking stickers to assist with the paint job. The synthetic rubber slick tires not only have a realistic appearance but also provide a genuine feel. Furthermore, the front wheels are steerable, adding to the model's authenticity.
