Tamiya 58356 RC Ferrari F40 Finished Body Kit Retro Supercar  [58356]

Miniature Version of a Supercar Icon

The Ferrari F40 hit the spotlight at the 1987 Frankfurt Motor Show as an emblem of performance and engineering. Built for Ferrari's 40th anniversary the car incorporated Formula 1 influence including a tubular steel spaceframe and lightweight Kevlar and carbon fibre bodywork. Its mid mounted twin turbo 2936cc V8 enabled speeds in excess of 320km/h, earning it a place in automotive history.

A Faithful Limited Reissue

The Tamiya 58356 RC Ferrari F40 is a limited reissue that revives the early 1990s kit with a fully finished body. The model reproduces the F40's lines faithfully and comes with a painted polycarbonate shell and applied decals so it looks accurate from the start.

Durable Composite Platform

This 1/10 scale kit uses a composite chassis integrating front and rear spaceframes with an ABS resin bathtub superstructure. An FRP plate reinforces the underside and the suspension combines front kingpin coil springs with a rear T bar and CVA oil dampers for controlled responses on the road.

Direct Drive and Ball Diff

The drive arrangement is a direct drive 2WD setup linking the motor to the spur gear and featuring a ball differential to add limited slip behavior for smoother cornering. The realistic polycarbonate body arrives pre painted with markings already applied for immediate authenticity.

Tamiya 58356 RC Ferrari F40 is a satisfying project for hobbyists who enjoy scale accuracy and hands on setup. Its combination of historically faithful bodywork and practical drivetrain makes it a standout model for display and driving.
