Tamiya 47443 Porsche 911 GT1 Street 1/10 TA03R-S Kit  [47443]

Heritage and Purpose of the Tamiya 47443 Porsche 911 GT1 Street

The Tamiya 47443 Porsche 911 GT1 Street recreates the road-legal version of a famed endurance racer. Built for homologation, the full-size car ran in 1996 Le Mans trim with a 3.1-liter inline-six and saw top speeds close to 330 km/h. This kit pairs the iconic silhouette with the TA03R-S short wheelbase chassis for nimble handling at scale.

Key Features of the TA03R-S Layout

The TA03R-S chassis positions the motor in a rear-midship spot to mirror the prototype, helping weight distribution. It relies on a belt-driven 4WD system that feeds power through sealed gearboxes with differentials. The suspension uses oil-filled shocks and CVA Super Mini front dampers to keep the ride low and controlled on smooth tracks.

Build Details and Finish Options

Modelers will appreciate the lightweight polycarbonate body and separately moulded details like mirrors and the rear wing. The kit supplies marking stickers and window mask stickers so you can paint authentic livery lines without hassle, making it a tidy display when finished.

Handling, Size and Setup

Whether used as a display piece or prepared for smooth-surface driving, the Tamiya 47443 balances scale accuracy with tunable chassis dynamics. It suits hobbyists who enjoy a precise build and setup process.
