The Tamiya 57802 XB Alfa Romeo MiTo recreates the MiTo's compact, sporty silhouette in a durable polycarbonate shell. Distinctive elements like the shield-shaped grille and separate lamp housings are retained to deliver a convincing miniature version of the road car that debuted in 2008.
The M-05 chassis uses a slim semi-monocoque resin frame that keeps the model light and centralises mass for a lower centre of gravity. This chassis design, combined with front-wheel drive and a 3-bevel differential, promotes stable, predictable cornering and responsive steering via the three-piece linkage.
Fitted with a Type 540 motor and an electronic speed controller, the car supports forward and reverse driving from the outset. Independent double wishbone suspension at all four corners and friction dampers smooth the ride, while 60D radial tyres on 11-spoke wheels provide reliable traction for road and controlled circuit use.
A solid pick for hobbyists wanting scale accuracy and controllable handling, the Tamiya 57802 XB Alfa Romeo MiTo is easy to run and simple to personalise.
