Tamiya 58572 Beetle M-06 Retro Touring Kit  [58572]

Vintage Volkswagen Lines on a Compact M-06 Platform

The Volkswagen Beetle is recognised for its iconic silhouette and long production history, rooted in Ferdinand Porsche's original concept. Tamiya has recreated that classic profile in scale and fitted it to the compact M-06 chassis, producing a model that blends period styling with manageable on-road dynamics.

Rear-Motor Layout for Realistic Handling

This Tamiya 58572 Volkswagen Beetle uses the M-06 chassis configuration with a rear motor and rear-wheel drive, giving handling traits similar to the original car. The chassis features fully independent double wishbone suspension and a gearbox-driven drivetrain with dog bone drives, which help keep the car stable and predictable on smooth surfaces.

Detail-Focused Kit with Ready Components

Tamiya equips the model with a polycarbonate body and metal-plated bumpers and wheels to capture the Beetle aesthetic. Friction dampers provide simple shock control while radial tread rubber tyres supply dependable traction. The package includes a 540-brushed motor and an ESC so you can get on the road after installation of radio and battery.

For model builders seeking a period-correct street car with straightforward mechanics, the Tamiya 58572 Volkswagen Beetle on the M-06 chassis is an appealing project and a tidy performer on paved surfaces.
