The Volkswagen Golf GTI Cup is a tightly raced one-make championship promoted by Volkswagen Group Japan, featuring race-prepped GTIs with safety gear like roll cages and 4-point belts. The series runs multiple rounds and attracts drivers of all experience levels thanks to its close competition and striking liveries.
The 58410 model sits on the TT-01E platform that has been refined for better service access and longevity. Fibreglass-reinforced A Parts and D Parts are supplied as separate mouldings to simplify repairs and upkeep.
Handling has been sharpened with a revised steering linkage that mirrors TA05 steering post geometry, giving more precise input feel. The updated upper deck boosts torsional rigidity and the kit includes a mount for a timing transponder to support lap scoring at club meets.
The polycarbonate Golf GTI shell captures the real car's profile while keeping weight low. The kit fits silver 10-spoke wheels and comes with detailed stickers for authentic race graphics. Electronics include an ESC (TEU-101BK), a Type 540 motor, and LEDs for the front and rear light assemblies to complete the realistic presentation.
Tamiya 58410 is suitable for builders at different skill levels and offers a resilient platform for club track days and local racing with scope for upgrades.
