About the Porsche 956


Realistic Design & Detailing

Tamiya’s Porsche 956 kit features an all-new polycarbonate body mold that faithfully reproduces the long-tail design of the original car. The separately molded front and rear light cases, wing, and side mirrors further enhance the realism, making this model a standout on any track. The attention to detail extends to the wheels, which include dish front and five-spoke rear designs that can be painted for a personalized finish.

High-Performance Chassis

Built for performance, the chassis of the Porsche 956 is a composite design combining an ABS plastic bathtub base with space frames and FRP plates. This rigid construction provides the model with a solid foundation to back up its fluid suspension system, allowing for crisp and responsive handling. Whether you're navigating tight turns or speeding down a straightaway, this chassis ensures a smooth driving experience.

Powerful Motor & Gear System

The kit comes equipped with a powerful 540 Sport-Tuned brushed motor, providing excellent speed and acceleration. The direct drive system, featuring a spur and pinion gear mated to a ball pressure plate differential, ensures smooth and controlled cornering performance. This combination of power and precision makes the Porsche 956 kit not only fun to build but thrilling to race.

This new release of the 956 is in 1/10th scale instead of the 1/12 scale used by Tamiya in 1984 for the Racing Master No.5
The Group C chassis used is solid and has good parts support.
Tamiya could have done a better job with the inside kit presentation, it is underwhelming with no blister parts packing.
The 956 body is awesome, just wish Tamiya would have offered a pre-painted version of the Porsche livery for this Ltd edition.
