The Tamiya 58694 Toyota GR86 is a detailed 1/10 scale R/C model that mirrors Toyota's compact sports car. The road-going GR86 is celebrated for its lightweight construction and balanced dynamics, using a front-engine, rear-wheel-drive format introduced in April 2021. Motorsport-inspired aerodynamics and a low centre of gravity back the car's performance, while the production model is powered by a 2.4-litre horizontally opposed four-cylinder engine with 235 horsepower and features aluminium on the bonnet, roof and front wings.
The TT-02 chassis underpins this kit, offering a shaft-driven 4WD arrangement and a longitudinal setup placing the battery to the left and the motor to the right to stabilise handling. Matching suspension arms and uprights ease assembly and spares management. The chassis allows two wheelbase lengths, adjustable ground clearance and track variations, plus ten different gear ratios so builders can tune performance to suit road or track use.
This assembly kit requires painting, trimming of the polycarbonate shell, secure fitting of components and decal application. The body includes fitted cases for front and rear lights but is not intended for direct LED installation. Side mirrors are moulded in black ABS and the model uses black 10-spoke wheels with racing radial tyres for an authentic road-car finish.
The Tamiya 58694 Toyota GR86 TT-02 pairs authentic scale detail with an adaptable chassis layout, making it a strong option for modelers who prioritise finish quality and adjustable handling.
