1/24 Sports Car Series No.79
Minolta Toyota 88C-V
Item No：24079
【 Toyota's First Group C Racer 】 Toyota raced in the Le Mans 24 Hours race from 1985, and in order to win the championship title in 1989, they developed the 88C-V racer. The beautifully sculptured body featured superb aerodynamics thanks to intensive wind tunnel testing. Powering the machine was an R32V 3.2-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine which pumped out an impressive 800hp. The 88C-V debuted at Round 4 Fuji 500 Miles in the All Japan Sports Prototype Car Championships in 1988 and took a remarkable 7th place qualifying position. During the final, it demonstrated excellent potential with its high speed but was forced to retire due to mechanical trouble. The season was challenging for the team but the valuable race data gained from this season led to an improved version, the 89C-V.
