The powerful GT machine on a big scale!

Another noteworthy model is the Motul AUTECH Z 2022 #23 from the SAMURAI series, which reproduces Japanese cars on a 1/18th scale. This is the ace car of the Nissan team that competes in Japan’s premier GT car race, the Super GT. It wears the number 23, a reference to Nissan, and was driven by Ronnie Quintarelli and Tsugio Matsuda, who finished the year in seventh place in the ranking.

The Nissan camp announced that from the 2022 season, the car would be switched from the GT-R it had been competing into the Fairlady Z. In the opening round at Okayama International Circuit, the car finished in third place. The powerful details of the car have been reproduced in the massive 1/18th scale finish.

The finish of the various aerodynamic parts, such as the rectification plates, which are essential for racing cars, is nothing short of spectacular. The ducts in the bumpers, the sculpting of the side steps and the large swan-neck type rear wing are all realistically reproduced down to the smallest detail thanks to the large size of the car. Of course, the sponsor stickers are visible and the joy of ownership can be enjoyed to the full.

The parts that could only be reproduced in 1/18th scale and the resin construction means that the door gaps, wings and aero are sharper than those made from die-cast resin. We hope you will take it in your hands and check out the details of the racing car that you normally can’t take a closer look at.

In addition to the above, the “KYOSHO MINI CAR” set includes a book with detailed explanations and a 1/64 model car, which is well worth reading.
