Tamiya adds another precise scale kit with the Subaru Impreza WRC Monte Carlo '07. Mounted on the TT-01 chassis, the kit blends accurate bodywork with practical assembly steps, while fitted LED lights give a convincing rally presentation when running or on display.
The Subaru Impreza WRC 2007 introduced subtle but meaningful changes over prior seasons, including tweaks to suspension geometry and an improved turbo and intercooler layout that helped handling and performance. A revised front bumper complements the intercooler upgrades, and the livery reflects the successes seen at events like Monte Carlo with drivers such as Chris Atkinson and Peter Solberg.
The Tamiya 58390 uses the reliable TT-01 shaft-driven 4WD chassis, known for its straightforward build and steady on-track behaviour. The bathtub-style chassis features coil spring dampers and independent double wishbone suspension at all four corners, with sealed differential gearboxes front and rear for longevity. Newly moulded components capture the 2007 body shape, including unique mirrors, a distinctive rear spoiler and detailed light fixtures.
Included are decal sheets for correct sponsor graphics and gold 10-spoke wheels for that classic look. The listed electronics include a type 540 motor and the TEU-101 BK ESC, and the kit ships with head and tail LEDs fitted. For hobbyists who want programmable lighting, the optional TLU-02 Light Control Unit (ITEM 53937) can be added.
Whether you collect scale rally cars or enjoy weekend track sessions, the Tamiya 58390 Subaru Impreza WRC Monte Carlo '07 provides a faithful model on a forgiving TT-01 chassis that suits a wide range of skill levels.
