Tamiya 24125 1/24 Toyota Castrol Celica GT-Four: A Rally Classic Recreated

The 1993 Monte-Carlo Rally was a defining moment for the Celica GT-Four RC, driven to victory by Didier Auriol and outpacing rivals from Lancia, Ford, Subaru and Mitsubishi. That win helped cement the Celica's reputation for rally performance.

Close Examination of the Celica GT-Four RC

The Celica GT-Four RC is noted for its sophisticated mechanical package. It uses a 2-liter, liquid-cooled inline four-cylinder DOHC turbocharged engine, producing 299 HP and 45.9 kg/m of torque, and routes power through a six-speed gearbox for crisp response.

A key technical highlight is the electronically controlled torque-splitter that balances drive across all four wheels, improving traction and handling when surfaces change during competition.

Kit Details and Build Notes

This Tamiya kit allows hobbyists to recreate the 1993 Monte-Carlo Rally winner with careful fidelity. Components are moulded for accurate representation of the engine bay and cockpit, and the set includes rubber-like tyres and waterslide decals to complete the authentic look.
