[VIDEOS] Tamiya reveals their life-size Mini 4WD race car

Usually, Tamiya’s signature Mini-4WD cars are 1/35 scale and usually measure around 15cm, however, what happens when the hobby company makes a life-size or a 1:1 scale version of their cars? Enter the new 1:1 scale*Aero Avante.
Gee, I wonder what dynamo and chassis were used in that “mini 4WD car”?*Well, it actually uses an*air-cooled flat-four OHV 1.6-liter engine instead of the usual dynamo, and it boasts a speed of 180 kph, a lot faster than your average Mini 4WD mind you.n Hey, it even comes with rollers, just like Tamiya’s model kits!
The 1:1 scale Aero Avante “Mini 4WD” measures in at*4.65 meters long, 2.8 meters wide, and 1.44 meters high, and unlike your usual Mini 4WD, it actually needs a driver.
The Aero Avante was unveiled during the*Mini 4WD Japan Cup 2015 held*in Tokyo’s Toyota Mega Web Driving Course last 18 October, and it surely got many enthusiasts talking! Here’s the video of how Tamiya made the car and how it was presented:
