Tamiya 43515 Porsche Carrera GT 1/10 Nitro Touring Car  [43515]

Meet the Tamiya 43515 Nitro Carrera GT

The Tamiya 43515 translates the Porsche Carrera GT into a 1/10 scale nitro touring car built for track-focused hobbyists. The model uses the advanced TGS-R chassis to enhance weight distribution and stability, and its detailed polycarbonate shell recreates the lines of the original sports car for realistic on-road presence.

Porsche Carrera GT Background

The Carrera GT is famed for its V10 that produces about 605hp and top speeds around 330km/h on the full-size car, with a mid-engine layout and extensive use of carbon fibre for balance and agility. The RC body echoes those aerodynamics with a pronounced rear wing and classic Porsche lighting cues.

TGS-R Chassis and Powertrain Details

The TGS-R chassis in this kit pairs with the FS-12SW nitro engine, an evolution over the FS-12SS, offering stronger performance while remaining user friendly. Speed-Tuned Gears aid quick acceleration, and the combination of full bearings and oil-filled dampers keeps the car composed during fast laps.

The Tamiya 43515 is a strong pick for RC drivers who value scale accuracy and competitive performance. Whether parked on a shelf or pushed on a smooth track, it blends craftsmanship with nitro excitement.
