Released on the 31/07/1996 the Calsonic Skyline was the third car in the TGX range. At the time there was nearly a year between the 2nd and third cars in the range. Tamiya released it to coincide with the opening of the Tamiya Kakegawa Circuit and the box came with a certificate inside. The car comes with the now rare OPS VR-15S.FV engine. Unlike the two cars before it this OPS engine had a fan built around the recoil starter to cool the cylinder head. The engine has now become rare.
