The Volkswagen Beetle has a familiar silhouette that has endured through decades of motoring history. Inspired by Ferdinand Porsche's original concept, the Beetle became a cultural staple. Tamiya reproduces that classic outline in scale and pairs it with the M-06 chassis to create a compact, authentic on-road model.
The Tamiya 58572 Volkswagen Beetle uses the M-06's rear motor, rear-wheel-drive architecture to mirror the balance of the original car. The chassis offers fully independent double wishbone suspension, a gearbox-driven transmission and dog bone drives, which together deliver steady handling on paved surfaces and tidy response for hobby use.
Finish details include a polycarbonate body with metal-plated bumpers and wheels to capture period cues. The kit uses friction dampers and radial rubber tyres to provide pragmatic damping and traction. A 540-brushed motor and ESC are supplied, simplifying the path to a completed model once radio gear and a battery are fitted.
The Tamiya 58572 Volkswagen Beetle is a solid choice for modellers after a scale classic that delivers straightforward handling and authentic looks on the M-06 chassis.
