A Classy Ride
1955 was the debut of the Volkswagen Karmann Ghia, which combined a Volkswagen chassis with a 2+2coupe body designed by Italian outfit Ghia and manufactured in Germany by Karmann. An air cooled flat-four engine in the back powered the rear wheels, and its fusion of looks, low ride height and affordable price tag made it a popular model that still retains a fan base in the modern day. This radio control model assembly kit depicts the car in 1/10 scale. The elegant lines of the low-slung car are accurately recreated by a polycarbonate body, with separately molded metal-plated light case, bumper and side mirror parts adding extra realism.
This specific kit recreates a true classic in the form of the Volkswagen Karmann Ghia. The Karmann Ghia was a stylish coupí© based upon the same platform as the legendary Beetle. Its body was designed by Italian firm Ghia and manufactured by the German company Karmann. The polycarbonate body in this replica sits on top of the Tamiya RWD M-06 chassis.
