The Tamiya GR Yaris Rally1 Hybrid is reproduced here as the Tamiya 58716 kit, reflecting the compact but potent rally machine that competed under Rally1 rules in 2022. The life-size car pairs a hybrid system with a turbo engine, delivering in excess of 500PS and 500Nm of torque, and this RC version brings the aggressive stance and competitive spirit into a buildable 1/10 platform.
The TT-02 is celebrated in the hobby for its reliable, tunable layout. The shaft-driven four-wheel drive spreads power evenly, and the low-slung battery and motor positioning help keep handling predictable. Parts like identical suspension arms and accessible gear housings make conversions and upkeep straightforward, while options for changing wheelbase, ride height and gearing allow you to tailor performance.
The polycarbonate body reproduces the rally aerodynamics and includes separate front light cases for an authentic appearance. Although the front LEDs are non-functional, the kit contains realistic molded parts including side mirrors, a two-piece rear wing and side ducts. Finished on dark gunmetal multi-spoke wheels with racing radial tyres, the model looks ready for special stages.
The Tamiya GR Yaris Rally1 Hybrid mounted on the TT-02 chassis is a balanced platform for hobbyists who like to tweak setup and enjoy authentic rally styling on varied surfaces.
