Scale realism in the Tamiya 47517 Audi R8 LMS 2008

The Tamiya 47517 - 1/10 Audi R8 LMS 2008 Silver Prepainted Body fitted to the TT-02 chassis delivers a tidy scale appearance with minimal prep. It is aimed at hobbyists who value an authentic look without spending hours on paintwork.

Built on racing tradition

The Audi R8 LMS enjoyed success in endurance and GT competition, and this 2008-style shell reflects the aerodynamic profile that made it competitive. The silver finish is applied at the factory, so you can focus on setup and driving rather than painting.

TT-02 chassis delivers stable handling

The TT-02 underpinnings are popular because they offer steady handling and a simple setup. Its symmetric layout supports predictable behaviour in corners, the 4WD shaft system gives smooth drive, and adjustable wheelbase options allow basic tuning for different bodies and track layouts.

Why this kit appeals

This model suits collectors and drivers who want scale authenticity with the practicality of the TT-02 platform. Maintenance and assembly are manageable, so you get more track time and less workshop time.

For modellers seeking an authentic Audi R8 LMS shell with the usable TT-02 chassis, this Tamiya release balances presentation and practicality.
