Now, this is something unique. Tamiya has introduced a sharp, 1/10-scale replica of the Volkswagen Karmann Ghia. Riding atop their M-06 on-road chassis, this beautiful recreation of the classic German coupe offers a detailed model for hobbyists who are looking for something new from their next build.

The M-06 platform features a rear-motor, rear-wheel-drive setup for a realistic driving experience. The polycarbonate body has been painstakingly designed to replicate all of the curves, lines, and features of the 1:1 Karmann Ghia.
