When Ferrari unveiled the F40 at the 1987 Frankfurt Motor Show it became a landmark in sports car design. Built to mark Ferrari's 40th anniversary the car used Formula 1 inspired engineering, featuring a tubular steel spaceframe and panels in Kevlar and carbon fibre. Its mid mounted twin turbo 2936cc V8 pushed top speeds past 320km/h making it the fastest production car of its day.
The Tamiya 58356 RC Ferrari F40 is a limited re release that brings the 1991 kit back with a fully finished body. This update delivers the visual fidelity of the original supercar with a ready to use painted polycarbonate shell and authentic markings for collectors and scale racers.
The 1/10 scale model rides on a composite chassis that combines front and rear spaceframes with an ABS resin bathtub superstructure. An FRP plate under the chassis adds strength while the suspension features front kingpin coil springs and a rear T bar with CVA oil dampers for composed handling and improved road feel.
The drivetrain uses a direct drive 2WD layout sending motor torque straight to the spur gear along with a ball differential to give limited slip action for steadier cornering. The realistic polycarbonate body arrives pre painted with decals applied so you get an authentic look straight away.
The Tamiya 58356 RC Ferrari F40 suits experienced modelers and collectors who value period accuracy and hands on tuning. Its detailed construction and performance oriented drivetrain make it a rewarding scale driving and display piece.
