Tamiya 47443 1/10 Porsche 911 GT1 Street Model Kit TA03R-S  [47443]

Background of the Tamiya 47443 Porsche 911 GT1 Street

The Tamiya 47443 Porsche 911 GT1 Street kit represents the homologation road car derived from the 1996 Le Mans racer. The real machine featured a 3.1-liter inline-six and could reach around 330 km/h. This scale model combines that history with the compact TA03R-S chassis for an authentic small-scale drive experience.

Chassis Characteristics of the TA03R-S

The TA03R-S layout locates the motor mid-rear to emulate the prototype's balance. Power flows through a belt-driven 4WD arrangement into sealed gearboxes with differential gears. The car benefits from oil-filled shock absorbers and CVA Super Mini front dampers to maintain a low ride height and responsive handling on sealed surfaces.

Assembly Detail and Finish

Attention to detail is evident in the polycarbonate bodywork and separate plastic fittings for mirrors and the rear wing. The kit contains marking stickers and window masking stickers to assist accurate painting and produce a neat, period-correct finish.

Technical Notes and Dimensions

A good choice for experienced modellers and those who enjoy setting up on-road cars, the Tamiya 47443 blends historical accuracy with a chassis that responds well to tuning.
