58560 Tamiya Ferrari 458 Challenge - TT02

The Ferrari 458 Challenge is a circuit car which made its debut in 2009.  Based on the 458 Italia, it is seen as the successor to the F430.  Its 4,500cc displacement engine produces 570ps at 9,000rpm.  For the final, classy touch the interior of the original car was designed with input from Michael Schumacher.

This exciting machine is built on the newly-designed TT-02 chassis.

A whole world of possibilities awaits those who use the new shaft driven 4WD TT-02 chassis.  Not just limited to on-road driving, theTT-02 can be customised simply to make it a rally or buggy model.  Like its forerunner the popular TT-01 chassis, drivers can choose between 2 wheelbase lengths; but the TT-02 goes further: there are 2 ground clearance and 2 tread settings which can be applied depending on the type of body and road surface being used.  A wide range of option parts will be available to ensure high-performance running whether on or off-road.
