Introducing the TAMIYA 1/10 VOLKSWAGEN GOLF MK2 GTI (NO ESC).
The 1980s marked a significant era for the hot hatch phenomenon within the automotive realm. Among the automakers championing the hatchback trend was Volkswagen, with their MK2 GTI 16V earning adoration from automotive enthusiasts. Tamiya, staying true to form, has meticulously recreated the MK2 GTI as a rally race car, a spectacle witnessed in A7 class competition. The vehicle's chassis is anchored on the MF-01 platform, ideal for performance on both asphalt and level dirt terrains.
