Tamiya is proud to announce the release of the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution V as a 1/10 R/C model assembly kit based on our popular TT-02 chassis.

The Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution 5th generation model took part in global rally races in 1998 and achieved both Maker’s and Driver’s Championships.

A Masterful Evolution
The Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution was developed as a base for rally cars, with continuous development since its debut in 1992. This R/C model assembly kit depicts the 5th generation model sold from 1998 which featured a 1,770mm-width body, and achieved both Maker and Driver Championships.
