Recreated Rally Icon: Celica GT-FOUR ST205 by Tamiya

This assembly kit presents the Toyota Celica GT-FOUR (ST205) on the TT-02 chassis in 1/10 scale, combining period-correct styling with a chassis that is simple to assemble and upgrade.

The Celica GT-FOUR in Motorsports History

The Celica GT-FOUR made its mark with a sophisticated 4WD layout, employing a centre viscous coupling and Torsen differential to handle power. Its turbocharged 255hp engine and aerodynamic enhancements helped it compete successfully in the World Rally Championship and created a sought-after road car variant.

TT-02 Chassis Characteristics

The TT-02 is valued for its predictable handling and easy maintenance. Its shaft-driven 4WD system gives consistent traction and the platform is well supported with hop-up parts for those wanting to extract more performance.

Model Details and Finish Options

The kit features a 1.0mm polycarbonate body faithful to the Celica lines, accompanied by 10-spoke Gun Metal wheels and racing radial tyres. Decals and window masking are supplied to assist with accurate painting and finishing.

A fine choice for collectors and active RC drivers, the Tamiya Toyota Celica GT-FOUR ST205 pairs classic rally authenticity with a TT-02 chassis that is easy to tune and maintain.

The kit suits both. Its step-by-step assembly works well for newcomers, while the TT-02 platform gives experienced builders scope for tuning and upgrades.
Use several light coats of polycarbonate-specific paint and allow proper drying between coats. A clear polycarbonate lacquer can help protect the finish, and careful handling reduces risk of chips.
The included racing radial tyres are intended for on-road grip. For loose or mixed surfaces you may want to fit alternative tyre compounds or tread patterns to match the conditions.
Begin with suspension components such as shocks and anti-roll bars, then assess tyres and the motor. Upgrading gradually helps you identify which changes improve handling most effectively.
