Tamiya 58677 VW Karmann Ghia 1/10 M-06L Retro Coupe Kit  [58677]

Classic Coupe Revival in Tamiya 58677 Form

The Tamiya 58677 VW Karmann Ghia reproduces the character of the original Volkswagen coupe with an eye for scale authenticity. Designed by Ghia and produced by Karmann, the full-size car is a styling milestone and this RC version brings that presence to the road with the M-06L chassis layout.

M-06L Chassis Tuned for Rear Motor Driving

The M-06L platform is built for a rear-mounted motor arrangement, pairing a brushed 540 type motor with a longitudinal battery location to achieve a low centre of mass. Component placement promotes neutral handling and the fully independent double wishbone suspension keeps the tyres planted. Fitment includes 60D radial tyres at the front and 60D super grip tyres at the rear, plus a 3-piece steering linkage for tight, predictable steering and a durable front bumper for impacts.

Detailing and Paint Preparation

Tamiya provides a polycarbonate body with separate plated parts for mirrors, bumpers and light bezels to enhance realism. The kit supplies marking stickers and window masks to streamline painting, and it is intended for use with Tamiya PS paints. The 239mm wheelbase preserves the scale proportions of the car.

The Tamiya 58677 VW Karmann Ghia suits hobbyists who prioritise period-correct detail and composed handling. It is a satisfying kit to assemble and a stable performer on smooth tracks.
