Tamiya is delighted to announce the release of this model, which sees the classic Lancia 037 Rally body (previously used in Items 58040 and 58278) paired with the evergreen TA02 chassis' short wheelbase variant.
The 037 Rally was Lancia's 1983 Group B WRC offering and took a 1-2 at the Monte-Carlo Rally as it romped to that year's manufacturers' championship. Its dashing body design was the work of the renowned artists at Pininfarina, and the highly distinctive shell retains popularity even today.
