The Tamiya 58677 VW Karmann Ghia brings the silhouette of the classic Volkswagen coupe to the RC world with careful attention to proportion. Originating from Ghia's design and built by Karmann, the original car is a styling landmark and this kit reflects that on the M-06L chassis for a faithful driving feel.
The M-06L chassis features a rear-mounted motor design paired with a longitudinal battery layout to promote a low centre of gravity and balanced weight distribution. The fully independent double wishbone suspension supports agile handling while front 60D radial tyres and rear 60D super grip tyres improve traction. Steering is handled via a 3-piece linkage for accurate response, and the reinforced bumper offers extra protection during use.
Tamiya supplies a light polycarbonate body with separate plated components for mirrors, bumper trims and light surrounds to enhance realism. Window masking stickers and marking decals are included to aid painting and customization with Tamiya PS paint. The model keeps a 239mm wheelbase to mirror the original car's stance.
The Tamiya 58677 VW Karmann Ghia is aimed at builders who value vintage aesthetics and consistent on-road performance. It is a pleasant build that rewards careful assembly with stable handling.
