Vintage Racing Style Mounted on the M-05

The Tamiya 47308 Volkswagen Golf Racing Group 2 brings the Kamei-decorated Golf Mk.1 into 1/12 scale with period details like flared guards and a racing spoiler. The model looks the part and benefits from the M-05 chassis layout for a credible driving feel.

M-05 Layout and Driving Traits

The M-05 chassis focuses on compact, efficient packaging for front-wheel-drive models. Its semi-monocoque resin frame is light yet robust, with component locations chosen to lower the center of gravity and support stable cornering. The suspension uses independent double wishbones and friction dampers to give a controllable, predictable ride.

Personalisation and Performance Upgrades

There is a wide aftermarket ecosystem for the M-05, letting owners install everything from sticky tyres to stiffer suspension parts. These upgrades help tailor the car for street practice or informal racing environments.
