1:24 Tamiya 24377 Toyota Celica LB Turbo Gr.5 – Japanese Race Car Plastic Model kit

The 1:24 Tamiya 24377 Toyota Celica LB Turbo Gr.5 - Japanese Racing Car is a plastic model kit of a striking Group 5 racing car with a unique Japanese-German motorsport story. This Tamiya re-issue is based on the kit originally sold in 1978 as a motorized model kit and now includes new Cartograf decals, an updated instruction manual and renewed packaging.

The Toyota Celica LB Turbo was developed for the 1977 Deutsche Rennsport-Meisterschaft and was based on the Celica Liftback 2000GT. With its extremely wide, low-profile silhouette, bulging over fenders, large rear wing and lightweight FRP body, this racing car has a powerful look that immediately stands out. The modified 2,090cc inline-4 DOHC turbo engine produced 560hp, and in October 1977 the car even beat the Porsche 935 in the ADAC Trophy race at Zolder.
