Tamiya 24279 - 1/24 Scale Porsche 911 Turbo 1988 Retro Road Car Kit  [24279]

Put together the 1988 Porsche 911 Turbo at 1/24 scale

The Tamiya 1/24 Porsche 911 Turbo 1988 model provides an accurate recreation of the classic Turbo silhouette. The Tamiya 24279 kit is suitable for model car builders who want a detailed, hands-on project with authentic styling cues.

Iconic performance and styling notes

The Turbo model traces back to a 1975 street legal debut for Porsche's turbocharged cars. Powered by an air-cooled flat six, early examples delivered around 260 horsepower with later variants reaching roughly 300 horsepower when upgraded to a 3.3 litre setup after 1978. Distinctive wide arches and the prominent rear wing are key styling elements captured by the kit.

Kit composition and build highlights

This kit precisely models the wide front and rear overfenders and the large rear wing seen on the 1988 Turbo. The body is shaped to accept extra-wide tyres for a realistic stance. The chassis shows engine underside detail, with the exhaust supplied as a separate moulding. Synthetic rubber tyres feature realistic tread, and metal transfers are included for accurate mirrors and badging.
