Tamiya 47443 1/10 Porsche 911 GT1 Street TA03R-S Kit  [47443]

Racing Heritage of the Tamiya 47443 Porsche 911 GT1 Street

The Tamiya 47443 Porsche 911 GT1 Street model captures the road-going version of a legendary racer. Built for homologation, it mirrors the 1996 Le Mans contender and recalls the original's 3.1-liter inline-six and top speeds near 330 km/h. This kit mounts the body on the short wheelbase TA03R-S chassis for a compact, responsive footprint.

TA03R-S Chassis Breakdown

The TA03R-S chassis from Tamiya places the motor in a rear-midship layout to imitate the full-size car's weight distribution. It uses a belt-driven 4WD system for smooth torque transfer, sealed gearboxes with differential gears, and a suspension setup that includes oil-filled dampers plus CVA Super Mini front dampers for a low, planted attitude on asphalt.

Scale Accuracy and Build Quality

Details on the Tamiya 47443 model are designed for realism and ease of finishing. The polycarbonate body keeps weight down while plastic components like side mirrors and the rear wing add scale fidelity. The kit includes marking stickers and window masking stickers to help achieve clean paintwork and authentic livery detail.

Performance and Dimensions

For collectors and experienced hobbyists, the Tamiya 47443 delivers both display appeal and on-road potential. It is a satisfying build that rewards careful setup and tuning for club track sessions.
