Tamiya 58442 BMW Z4 Hatsune Miku Edition on TT-01E Chassis  [58442]

Where Anime Style Meets GT Craftsmanship in the Tamiya 58442 BMW Z4

Tamiya has long been respected for precise kits and model fidelity. The Tamiya 58442 BMW Z4 RC Kit captures the bright Hatsune Miku livery in 1/10 scale and reproduces the look of the Team Studie GLAD Racing car from the Super GT300 field, blending pop culture and motorsport detail.

Racing Origin and Livery Background

The Z4 in this kit is modelled after the car campaigned by Team Studie GLAD in 2009, famous for applying anime artwork to race liveries. Tamiya recreates that unique visual identity faithfully, so hobbyists get an authentic representation of the real-world car and its track presence.

Chassis Build and On-Track Characteristics

This kit sits on the TT-01 Type-E chassis and uses a shaft-driven 4-wheel drive layout for reliable handling. The chassis is noted for its sturdy construction and straightforward upkeep, making it suitable for newcomers and experienced modders alike. Included slick tyres and BBS-style mesh wheels help deliver predictable grip across typical asphalt and smooth surfaces.

Lights, Control Units, and Upgrades

LED lighting is included with two red and two yellow 5mm LEDs managed by the TLU-01 Light Control Unit. For more complex illumination setups, the optional TLU-02 supports up to 32 LEDs. A wide selection of optional parts lets builders customise performance and appearance to suit track or display use.

The Tamiya 58442 BMW Z4 RC Kit is a good pick for hobbyists who enjoy distinctive liveries and a dependable chassis that works for both display and club track days.
