Built to reflect the 2011 Subaru Impreza WRX STi driven by Toshihiro Arai, this Tamiya 58528 kit focuses on authentic looks and a chassis that supports realistic rally handling for both display and driving.
The XV-01 chassis offers robust mixed-surface performance thanks to independent double wishbone suspension and oil-filled shocks. The 4WD layout with dog bone drives and gear differentials manages torque delivery for consistent cornering on loose surfaces.
The clear polycarbonate body comes with vinyl decals that emulate the race livery, allowing a tidy finished appearance after painting and trimming. The shell fits the XV-01 layout for accurate scale proportions.
Adjustable camber, toe, ride height and gear ratio choices let you set the car up for gravel or hardpack runs. Protective dust covers help keep moving parts free of grit during rough sessions.
The Tamiya XV-01 Subaru Impreza WRX STi is a strong option for modellers who want a period-accurate rally car with meaningful tuning range for club racing or casual bashing.
