Tamiya 58385 BMW 320si WTCC 2006 Replica TT-01 Racing Shell  [58385]

WTCC icon recreated in scale

The BMW 320si WTCC 2006 captures the look of the touring car that raced in the 2006 World Touring Car Championship. The road-going racer used a 2-litre inline four with around 275 horsepower, and was campaigned by Team Germany with drivers Jorg Muller and Dirk Muller, with Jorg finishing a close second overall.

TT-01 chassis features and setup

The Tamiya 58385 is based on the dependable TT-01 platform, valued for its straightforward construction and balanced on-road manners. This 4WD, shaft-driven chassis uses a bathtub frame, coil-sprung dampers and independent double wishbones to provide controllable handling, while sealed diffs at both ends keep the drive smooth.

Lighting, decals and tuning options

LEDs are fitted to give genuine headlight and tail illumination. For hobbyists wanting more functionality, the optional TLU-02 Light Control Unit is compatible. Metalised light bezels add realism, and the unpainted body includes decals for car No.42 as raced by Jorg Muller, leaving plenty of scope for custom paint and performance parts.

The Tamiya 58385 BMW 320si WTCC 2006 offers a solid base for tuners and painters alike. Its easy-to-work chassis and authentic details suit club racers and collectors who like to tailor performance and appearance.
