The Tamiya 58677 VW Karmann Ghia recreates the profile and character of the original Volkswagen coupe with precise scale cues. With styling by Ghia and coachwork by Karmann, the full-size car is legendary and this RC version aims to reproduce that charm on the M-06L chassis for day-to-day driving enjoyment.
The M-06L chassis is set up for rear-wheel drive with a rear-mounted brushed 540 motor and a longitudinal battery position that supports a low centre of gravity. R/C parts are arranged for balanced handling while the 4-wheel double wishbone suspension provides composed response. Tyres are 60D radial at the front and 60D super grip at the rear, and a 3-piece steering linkage improves steering precision with a protective bumper at the nose.
This kit uses a lightweight polycarbonate body plus separate plated parts for mirrors, bumpers and light bezels to boost authenticity. Included are marking stickers and window masks to help with paintwork using Tamiya PS paints. The wheelbase measures 239mm to keep the model in scale with the original car.
The Tamiya 58677 VW Karmann Ghia is ideal for enthusiasts who value heritage styling and steady road manners. It builds into a neat display model and delivers reliable handling on smooth surfaces.
