The Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution IV holds a strong rally record thanks to drivers like T. Makinen and wins at rallies including Portuguese, Catalonian and Argentine rounds. Tamiya recreates that era in 1/10 scale, giving modellers a compact version of a historically significant car.
Built around a polycarbonate monocoque frame, the TL-01 combines lightness with structural integrity. The four-wheel independent double wishbone suspension is tuned for balanced control, making it suitable for varied running surfaces from club tracks to practice stages.
The kit ships with a 540 Type motor and a gear ratio of 1:7.96 for reliable power delivery. Drivers can tailor performance by testing tyre choices and adjusting suspension, while the specified wheelbase and tread numbers help maintain composure during cornering.
Tamiya 58219 suits hobbyists who want a period-correct rally model on a robust, adaptable chassis that responds well to sensible upgrades.
