Touring Car Revival: Tamiya 84228 HKS Opel Vectra JTCC

Tamiya has recreated a standout touring car in miniature, bringing the Tamiya 84228 HKS Opel Vectra JTCC back with modern underpinnings. The model preserves period looks while using the FF-03 layout for improved drivability.

Why the Vectra Still Matters

The Opel Vectra made its mark in touring car racing with a balanced chassis and strong pace. This scale kit captures that spirit, appealing to modellers who enjoy authentic replicas that also handle well on tight circuits.

Balance and Handling from the FF-03

The FF-03 chassis is optimised for front-wheel drive, featuring four double wishbone suspension arms that promote even weight transfer and predictable cornering. Its setup is forgiving yet tunable for different driving styles.

Scale Detail and Included Parts

The package contains a shaped polycarbonate body trimmed to the original silhouette, plus mirrors, rear wing, and a full decal sheet to recreate race graphics. Ball bearings and a Type 540 motor come supplied to keep the drivetrain running smoothly.
