Heritage Roadster Replica: The Tamiya 58247 Audi R8R Roadster

The Tamiya 58247 Audi R8R Roadster recreates a Le Mans icon in accurate 1/10 scale. Its open cockpit silhouette captures the racing character of the original Audi R8R and gives model builders a period-correct replica to display or race.

F103LM Chassis and Sport-Tuned 540 Motor

The F103LM chassis underpins this kit, chosen for its light weight and responsive handling. Matched with a sport-tuned 540 motor, the combination delivers lively acceleration and stable cornering that mimic the roadster's racing intent.

Assembly and On-Track Feel

Building the Tamiya 58247 is rewarding for experienced modellers and approachable for those stepping up from basic kits. Clear instructions guide the assembly and setup, and once trimmed and tuned the model offers predictable steering and punchy straight-line speed.

Position in the F103 Range

Within the F103 family the Audi R8R Roadster stands out thanks to its open cockpit and racing heritage. It complements other Tamiya F103 variants by offering a distinct look while retaining the series balance between stability and agility.
