Inferno GT2 Styled After the Audi A4 DTM 2007

Model History and Track Context

The Audi A4 DTM 2007 represented a competitive entry in the DTM championship and drew manufacturer attention during its campaign. Kyosho reproduces that era's livery and presence in a 1/8 scale package for collectors and racers alike.

Platform Details and Performance Orientation

Following on from the MP7.5, the Inferno GT2 gains a 35mm longer wheelbase for improved stability and steadier turn-in. The fitted GXR28SG engine delivers the powerband expected from a GP touring car, while the dual disk brakes help control speed into heavy braking zones.

Practical Features and Upgrade Paths

  • Improved Stability: The extended wheelbase makes the chassis more predictable at high speed and under braking.
  • Advanced Braking System: Dual disks reduce brake fade during repeated laps.
  • Customization Potential: Turnbuckle upper arms and tie rods let you refine steering response and camber settings.
  • Aesthetic Enhancements: Blue anodised hubs and shock caps provide a professional race look.
  • Enhanced Speed: Recalibrated 2-speed gearing supports higher top speed on long straights.
  • Increased Run Time: A 150cc fuel tank lengthens run sessions between pit stops.
  • Responsive Design: The smaller flywheel sharpens throttle reaction for quicker exits.
  • Durable Differentials: Spiral ring and pinion gears ensure dependable differential action under load.
  • Complete Build: Supplied fully built with the radio system already installed for immediate use.

The Kyosho Inferno GT2 Audi A4 DTM 2007 is well suited to enthusiasts who value authentic race styling on a tuneable, ready-to-run 1/8 GP chassis. It offers straightforward use for newcomers with depth for advanced tuning.

Use the recommended nitro fuel grade for 1/8 GP engines and follow the engine maker's guidance for oil content during break-in and normal running.
Many owners fit upgraded servos, receivers and telemetry-capable radios; ensure dimensions and mounting points match before purchasing.
Adjustable items like tyre choice, shock oil and spring rates, plus turnbuckle settings, let you tune understeer and oversteer to suit different circuits.
Follow the engine manufacturer's break-in instructions, typically involving several controlled runs with incremental throttle to seat the components and stabilise settings.
