Tamiya 58682 1/10 Audi V8 DTM TT-02 Touring Car Kit  [58682]

Audi V8 DTM Heritage Recreated on the TT-02 by Tamiya 58682

The Tamiya 58682 kit pays careful tribute to the Audi V8 DTM that made its mark in the early 1990s. This 1/10 scale model captures the look and historic story of the original race car, which featured a 456hp 3.6-liter V8 and helped Frank Biela secure a DTM title with four race wins. Collectors and track-focused hobbyists will appreciate the authentic details and period correct livery.

Balanced Track Performance on the TT-02

The TT-02 chassis is valued for its predictable handling and easy setup. With the battery mounted on the left and motor on the right, the layout supports stable high-speed runs. Symmetrical suspension arms and uprights help simplify assembly, while straightforward gearbox access makes routine upkeep quick. Multiple wheelbase and ride-height options plus ten gear ratio choices allow tuning for different circuits.

Period Accurate Styling and Build Details

The body is injection-moulded polycarbonate for a lightweight yet robust shell, supplied with stickers to reproduce Frank Biela's No. 45 livery and masking for clean window lines. Two-piece mesh wheels with silver rims and gold spokes ride on racing slick tyres, and brake-disc style wheel hubs and a sculpted front bumper add race car realism to the finished model.

The Tamiya 58682 Audi V8 DTM on the TT-02 is a great pick for racers and collectors who want an authentic touring car replica that is straightforward to build and tune for club tracks.
