Retro Touring Build: Tamiya 58699 Audi V8 on TT-02

Hobbyists and scale fans will appreciate this accurate 1/10 representation of the 1992 Audi V8 Touring. The Tamiya 58699 kit combines a scale-correct polycarbonate body with the easy-to-work TT-02 chassis, giving builders a straightforward project with realistic looks.

The Racing Pedigree of the 1992 Audi V8

The 1992 Audi V8 Touring featured a 3.6-liter V8 and Audi quattro four-wheel drive, which helped it post strong results on classic circuits including the Nurburgring. This model captures those defining elements in a compact, display-friendly package.

Why the TT-02 Chassis Works for Scale and Street

The TT-02 is a shaft-driven 4WD platform valued for predictable handling. Its layout separates battery and motor positions to aid balance. Symmetrical suspension parts simplify assembly and make setup changes easier, while selectable wheelbase, ride height, and track options let you adapt the car to show runs or casual track sessions. Ten gear ratios allow basic speed tuning.

Yes. TT-02 components and common Tamiya parts are widely available from hobby shops and online retailers, which makes maintenance and repairs straightforward.
Use polycarbonate-specific paints such as Tamiya PS series. Thin coats and backing the shell with a white or primer layer can improve colour opacity and shine.
