The Tamiya Mercedes-Benz C11 is a nod to classic prototype racing. Released in 1990, this 1/10 model channels the Group C era with a focus on scale accuracy and engaging assembly.
The race car ran a Mercedes-Benz M119 5.0L twin turbo V8 and was prepared by Sauber, a milestone for Mercedes-Benz in prototype competition. Tamiya translates that heritage into the 1/10 scale kit (Kit No. 47484).
With a polycarbonate body sized at 490mm long by 206mm wide, the model reflects the aerodynamic lines of the original. The chassis combines an ABS resin bathtub with FRP plates to deliver toughness and responsive handling.
This model suits builders who enjoy faithful period styling combined with practical upgrade paths and setup options for different driving conditions.
