Three cars modelled in the pursuit of driving!
Kyosho attracts model car fans with a diverse line-up of products ranging from production cars to racing cars. Nissan fans will not want to miss this new item. The GT-R Nismo, Fairlady Z Nismo and Motul AUTECH Z 2022 are introduced here.
Even if you can’t buy a new car, you can still collect two model cars
The first two cars to be introduced are the 1/43rd scale Nissan GT-R Nismo 2024 and Fairlady Z Nismo 2024 from the Kyosho Original series. The GT-R Nismo features a significantly redesigned exterior and greatly improved aerodynamics. It features newly sculpted front and rear bumpers, and their powerful shape has been faithfully reproduced in 1/43 scale. As the model is a special edition, the carbon bonnet is also clear-coated with a realistic texture.
The honeycomb mesh grille in the rear bumper and the blue hue of the titanium muffler are also very realistic. You can almost hear the exhaust note. We hope you will add this 2024 model GT-R Nismo to your collection, as the purchase of a new car was by lottery and sales were limited.
The other Fairlady Z Nismo also features powerful styling with exclusive aero parts. The red colouring on the lower part of the aero parts adds a sporty touch. In addition to the exclusive aero kit, the exclusive items that make up the FAIRLADY Z Nismo, such as Rays wheels and Akebono brake kit, also have a very realistic finish. The emblems of the FAIRLADY Z and Nismo have also been reproduced, making this an extremely satisfying item.
This time, both Nismos have adopted white as their body colour. The Nismo Stealth Grey, which has recently been the exclusive Nismo colour, has been the image colour, but many people may think it looks fresh because it is white, which has been the main colour of the Nismo up to now.
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.
