The Tamiya 58439 Cusco Dunlop Subaru Impreza model captures the spirit of the 2008 Super GT300 car that claimed victory at Sepang and strong qualifying results at Suzuka and Fuji. The prototype used a horizontally opposed DOHC turbocharged engine and stood out as the sole AWD entry in the series.
The heart of the kit is the TT-01 Type-E chassis, featuring a shaft-driven 4WD system that gives predictable handling and easy setup. Its durable layout makes it a good starting point for those new to RC touring builds and a stable foundation for tuning by experienced users. Fitted wheels and tyres complete the period-correct look.
The polycarbonate body reproduces the aggressive race profile, and detailed fittings such as side mirrors, rear wing and metal-plated light cases enhance realism. The model includes LED lights for authentic night-time running; the TLU-01 comes standard and the optional TLU-02 can be fitted for extended lighting options.
The Tamiya Cusco Dunlop Subaru Impreza TT-01E offers a faithful scale replica on a chassis that responds well to incremental upgrades. It appeals to model collectors and competitive hobbyists who value realism and tuning potential.
