Legendary F40 Recreated for Scale Enthusiasts

The Ferrari F40 was revealed at the 1987 Frankfurt Motor Show and quickly became a defining supercar as part of Ferrari's 40th anniversary. The road car borrowed Formula 1 ideas such as a tubular steel spaceframe and panels in Kevlar and carbon fibre. Its mid mounted twin turbo 2936cc V8 produced speeds over 320km/h, making it the benchmark of its era.

A True To Life Kit Reissue

The Tamiya 58356 RC Ferrari F40 is a limited edition reissue of the 1991 model, updated with a fully finished body. This version delivers the F40 silhouette and detailing with a painted polycarbonate shell and factory applied markings for a ready to display model.

Engineered Chassis Layout

The 1/10 model sits on a composite chassis that merges front and rear spaceframes with an ABS resin bathtub structure. An FRP plate strengthens the underbody while the suspension uses a front kingpin coil spring arrangement and a rear T bar with CVA oil dampers to give steadiness and control.

Proven Drivetrain Design

This kit uses a direct drive 2WD system transferring motor power directly to the spur gear and includes a ball differential to assist with controlled cornering and traction. The faithful polycarbonate body arrives pre painted and marked for immediate authenticity.
