Race Proven Styling in a Buildable Kit

The Tamiya 58260 - 1/10 Mercedes CLK DTM TL-01 recreates the race-winning look of the Mercedes-Benz Team D2 entry, which took five victories in ten rounds of the German Touring Car Championship. The body captures the aerodynamic lines and visual detail of the full-size racer, letting modellers and drivers enjoy a faithful scale replica.

TL-01 Chassis: Shaft Drive and Balance

The TL-01 underpinnings combine a lightweight yet sturdy layout with a shaft-driven 4WD system for consistent traction. The polycarbonate monocoque body and tuned geometry give predictable handling across smooth tarmac and club tracks, making setup straightforward for those new to touring cars and flexible enough for experienced tuners.
