The Tamiya 58656 - 1/10 Mercedes-Benz 190E Debis TT-01 Type E captures an important chapter of touring car history. Based on the 190 E 2.5-16 Evo.II that raced in DTM competition, this kit reflects period styling and race detail while offering a hands-on build for modellers who enjoy classic race replicas.
The TT-01 Type E chassis provides a shaft-driven 4WD system for consistent traction on smooth surfaces. The motor and battery fit low in the chassis to reduce the centre of mass, improving stability. Fibreglass reinforced nylon components on the top deck and gear covers add strength where it matters without complicating maintenance.
The supplied polycarbonate body retains the original car lines and accepts the included molded trim parts such as mirrors, spoilers and grille pieces. A plated Mercedes emblem and decal sheet let you recreate the No.20 race livery. The model uses soft green 6-spoke wheels with slick tyres for authentic on-road looks.
With its blend of era-correct detailing and a stable TT-01E foundation, the Tamiya 58656 - 1/10 Mercedes-Benz 190E Debis TT-01 Type E is well suited to hobbyists who like building authentic vintage racers and keeping them competitive on club tracks.
