Rally cars are always an exciting subject, accomplished both on asphalt and flat dirt, and Tamiya is delighted to announce the addition of another to our R/C kits: the Volkswagen Golf MK2, depicting a car which became the champion of the A7 class in 1986 global rally race. (Group A is for cars with over four seats which had productions of over 2,500 during successive 12 months, and A7 meant cars which featured 1,601 – 2,000cc. )
This car was powered by a 1,781cc inline 4-cylinder 4-stroke gasoline engine capable of 195hp.
