History Maker
Developed by TOYOTA GAZOO Racing, the TS050 HYBRID is a sports prototype
car with carbon fiber monocoque and closed cockpit body.
Its hybrid powertrain employs a midship 2.4-liter twin turbo direct
injection V6, a high-powered lithium-ion battery, and Motor Generator
Units (MGUs) on front and rear axles.
Its superior performance and reliability brought marvelous results in
2018.
Now, the car which wrote a new page in Japanese motorsports history is
an exciting new addition to the extensive Tamiya 1/24 Sports Car Series,
with the highly refined aerodynamic form of the TS050 HYBRID captured in
style.
