The Tamiya 58677-60A brings the Volkswagen Karmann Ghia to the RC workshop with careful attention to the coupe's graceful proportions. This kit celebrates the clean, flowing lines of the original Ghia-designed body while fitting it to Tamiya's compact M-06 platform for authentic scale presence.
The M-06 layout emphasises a rear-mounted motor and rear-wheel-drive setup to recreate the RR driving character. A longitudinal battery placement and side-mounted RC gear help the M-06 achieve a low center of gravity and well-balanced behaviour on smooth surfaces.
Equipped with a 4-wheel independent double wishbone suspension, the chassis delivers predictable responses and stability. Metal-plated wheels sit under 60D radial tyres up front and super grip radials at the rear, while a 3-piece steering linkage sharpens cornering precision.
The kit includes a lightweight polycarbonate body shaped to the Karmann Ghia silhouette, plus separate plated parts for mirrors, bumpers and light housings. Marking stickers and window masks are supplied to help with painting. A Tamiya 540 brushed motor is fitted, but an ESC is not included and must be sourced separately.
This Tamiya Volkswagen Karmann Ghia on the M-06 proves rewarding for builders who value period-correct styling and a hands-on, rear-drive driving feel.
