The Tamiya 58677 VW Karmann Ghia captures the charm of the original Volkswagen coupe with faithful scale styling. Drawn from Ghia's Italian design and built by Karmann in Germany, the real car is a design icon and this RC model reflects that lineage on the M-06L platform for realistic road manners.
The M-06L chassis is tailored for rear-wheel drive layouts, using a rear-mounted brushed 540 motor arrangement and a longitudinal battery position that help lower the center of gravity. R/C components are arranged to promote balance, while the independent 4-wheel double wishbone suspension keeps the car stable. Front 60D radial tires and rear 60D super grip tires deliver predictable traction, and a 3-piece steering linkage gives responsive steering feel while the sturdy bumper adds protection.
True to Tamiya standards, the body is formed from lightweight polycarbonate with separate plated pieces for bumpers, mirrors, and light housings. The kit includes marking and window masking stickers to simplify painting, and it works well with Tamiya PS paints for authentic finishes. The model maintains a 239mm wheelbase to represent the original proportions accurately.
The Tamiya 58677 VW Karmann Ghia is a rewarding kit for collectors and drivers who value scale accuracy and balanced handling. It makes a satisfying build and performs well on smooth, paved surfaces.
