The TAMIYA Nissan R91CP is back! This highly popular TAMIYA model is now available once again as a limited re-release.
The original version was released in 1992 under item number 58109, followed by a re-release in 2012 under number 84264.
The Nissan R91CP thus fits perfectly into Tamiya's lineup of Group C chassis models: following the Mercedes C11 and the Porsche 956, it is now the third model in the series!
The Nissan R91CP is an icon of Japanese motorsport: it was the first Japanese car to win the 24 Hours of Daytona. The drivers at the time were Kazuyoshi Hoshino, Toshio Suzuki, and Masahiro Hasemi.
The original vehicle was powered by a twin-turbo V8 engine with a displacement of 3,500 cc.
About the TAMIYA Group C Chassis:
2WD Chassis with Direct Drive
The chassis features a 2WD rear-wheel-drive system—analogous to TAMIYA's classic Formula chassis designs. Built upon an ABS plastic bathtub frame—augmented by front and rear spaceframes as well as FRP plates—the chassis presents itself as a composite structure. This design provides a highly rigid foundation that optimally supports the sensitive suspension system; the result is precise and direct handling.
The front axle utilizes an independent suspension system featuring coil springs and kingpins, while the rigid rear axle is configured as a 3-point suspension—equipped with a 1.5 mm thick FRP T-bar and a CVA oil damper. Ground clearance can be adjusted to suit the surface conditions (front: 2 adjustment levels; rear: 3 adjustment levels). The body shell is unpainted and features black plastic accessory parts: side mirrors, spoiler mounts, air intake, and windshield wipers.
The kit comes supplied with an RS-540 Sport Tuned motor.
Required accessories: 2-channel radio control system with steering servo, electronic speed controller, battery pack, battery charger, transmitter batteries, and TAMIYA PS paint for polycarbonate bodies.
Warning! Not suitable for children under 14 years.
