Tamiya 58158 - 1/10 RC Fiat Abarth 1000 TCR M02 Chassis Kit - Retro Race Replica  [58158]

Small but Fierce: Abarth Touring Car in Scale

The Fiat Abarth 1000 TCR earned its reputation in historic touring car events after Carlo Abarth tuned the Fiat 600 into a compact racer. Its punchy 948cc engine made it competitive beyond its size. Tamiya reproduces that character in a precise 1/10 scale offering on the M02 chassis.

M02 Platform and Handling Traits

The M02 underpinnings give this model rear-wheel drive and authentic handling traits. The kit includes gear differentials and independent double wishbone suspension on all four corners, which supports predictable weight transfer and corner entry control. The ABS monocoque is strong and keeps the layout compact.

Scale Bodywork and Fitment

Body panels are moulded from lexan with styrene trim pieces to replicate the original's compact proportions and racing presence. The shape is tuned for scale appearance while helping with airflow and stability at speed.

Intended Users and Collectors

This model appeals to those who like classic racing cars and want to practice rear-drive handling. It is also a solid display piece for collectors who value period authenticity and accurate detailing.

A compact and faithful model, the Tamiya Fiat Abarth 1000 TCR suits modellers who want authentic driving dynamics and accurate period styling.
