Tamiya Audi Quattro

Reissue coming next year: https://tamiyablog.com/2024/12/some-future-upcoming-tamiya-re-releases-for-2025/

Hopefully Tamiya keep reissuing kits that have not been available for a very long time. I have a long list of kits I want.

Wonder if it's going to be the street car or the rally car? 🤔

Tamiya kit 24031 was the street car.

Thanks. Would have preferred the rally car, myself; but Tamiya didn't ask me. 😁

They reissued both versions of the Renault 5 Turbo perhaps they will do the same with the Quattro.

Me too. I already have the street version, but not the rally car.

I would think the Rallye cars would be the better selling kit. Maybe that's why Tamiya released the street kit first.

Just a guess on my part.

the road cars are jumping in value in europe just now. a basic non quattro version starts at around 5k for a decent project car and starts at 35 for a good one. its not that long since they could be picked up for a few hundred to 1500 for a quattro.

Sweet! It’s on my list. I would love a reissue of the Volvo 850 as well.

I would love to see both kits reissued by Tamiya. The last Rally version I owned had twisted windshield pillars, and was unable to fix it.

Looks like there is a half decent engine in this kit too.

It's an engine bay insert with some added detail, so it's really more like half of a decent engine.😁

I built this kit a few years ago from an early issue that I got from eBay for a surprisingly low price. Really nice kit with tons of detail. The engine plate looks pretty good when detailed. It has several pieces that you glue on to the plate almost like you would a “full” engine. I gave it to my stepdad (he owned a red quattro in the UK in the 90’s), and I couldn’t find another reasonably affordable copy so I will definitely need to get one of these!

Like DCI Hunt used to say , "Time to fire up the Quattro". 😉

Really super stoked to see this reissued. I built an old release of it in high school and the decals were absolutely shot. I also look forward to what the modern aftermarket will release for the Quattro.

[stavanzer]

Sure is a sharp looking car, even after all these years.

[Rodent]

I snagged an original one a while back on the 'Bay for dirt cheap, possibly because the seller ended the auction when nobody in the U.S. was awake. It looks like a nice kit, and I am glad they are bringing it back.

Beautiful model!
