The Tamiya Mercedes-Benz C11 captures the spirit of early 1990s prototype racing. Introduced in 1990, this 1/10 scale kit recalls the era of Group C competition and appeals to both long-time collectors and newcomers to the hobby.
The full-size Mercedes-Benz C11 ran with a Mercedes-Benz M119 5.0L twin turbo V8 and was prepared by Sauber, marking a notable moment when Mercedes-Benz featured its name on a prototype. Tamiya recreates that legacy in scale with the 1/10 model (Kit No. 47484).
The model uses a polycarbonate body sized at 490mm long and 206mm wide to mirror the original aerodynamics. Its composite chassis includes an ABS resin bathtub and FRP plates to keep the kit robust while allowing nimble track behaviour.
For collectors who value period accuracy and hobbyists who enjoy tuning, the Tamiya Mercedes-Benz C11 balances historic looks with modern RC buildability and track-ready performance.
