Tamiya 20072 1/20 Scale Toyota Celica Lb Turbo Gr.5

Tamiya 20072 1/20 Scale Toyota Celica LB Turbo Gr.5

The Toyota Celica LB Turbo was a Group 5 racing machine developed for the 1977 DRM (German Racing Championship). Based on the road-going Celica Liftback, the race car featured dramatic aerodynamic bodywork — bulging over-fenders, a towering rear wing, and extensive FRP body panels — paired with a 2,090cc, 560hp inline-4 DOHC turbocharged engine. Making its debut in July 1977, it achieved a stunning maiden victory in October of that year, beating the formidable Porsche 935.

This re-release of the classic Item 20009 (originally released in 1978) features new Cartograf decals, new slick tyres, and an updated instruction manual.
