GreatDane 70 Posted May 15, 2022 Hi Guys. I saw this Tweet from Tamiyainc below left showing which is likely a Toyota Truck and above a (new?) Toyota Le Mans car. I haven't seen the Truck before. Just (****) curious. Anyone? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BelknapCrater 179 Posted May 15, 2022 The LeMans LMP car was an older model on the F1 chassis, and the pickup looks like the VW Amarok that has been on a couple of truck platforms. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Busdriver 6207 Posted May 15, 2022 The truck at this end of the bottom row isn’t an Amarok, I’m pretty certain it’s a Toyota. The front is all wrong for the VW!!! Also it looks as if it’s got a deep truck bed!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
berman 5315 Posted May 15, 2022 Truck on the left bottom looks like the new hilux (the bruiser lookalike on the CC01 platform) in a different paint scheme. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OoALEJOoO 3096 Posted May 15, 2022 Both of them are wearing Gazoo Racing liveries so must likely are Toyotas. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Aah yes, I think you're right. I hadn't looked at the CC01 hilux before but in that livery it's quite stunning 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Willy iine 18803 Posted May 15, 2022 I watched the Tamiya news channel or whatever it was called yesterday or the day before and the au Toms is new (GR Supra, GT champ). I think the guy said it was on a TT02. Set for release this summer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Set for delivery into UK early July from the looks of it. I might see if I can pick up the shell for my TT-02 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pretty sure that was based on the 2018 / 2019 Xtra Cab Hilux. I seriously considered getting one of these to have a go at doing a CC01 with Monster Racer livery..... I still might one day. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It looks a newer model and is lower on the chassis than the CC01 hilux. I love the livery!! Not sure what chassis, maybe the new XV02 ??? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thommo 1201 Posted May 16, 2022 @Busdriver You have me interested now... If this comes out on the XV02 chassis, I would almost certainly have to build a Monster Racer / Prerunner tribute ! Edit# Looks very muck like CC01 front bumper Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Badcrumble 4181 Posted May 16, 2022 When the new Hilux came out I thought it ought to have a racing livery 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SuperChamp82 743 Posted May 19, 2022 Agree @Badcrumble Maybe this ?! https://www.tamiyaclub.com/showroom_model.asp?cid=127344 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
InsaneJim69 1583 Posted May 20, 2022 The Lemans car looks interesting as it's not the older TS050. But the livery is identical to the newer GR010, so that's a new body and pretty cool. I do love the look of the Supra. GT500. Really glad Tamiya are back making super cool GT bodies. 👍 James. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kalamity 32 Posted May 21, 2022 I might (probably) be mistaken, but to me the bumper in that Toyota Dakar looks a lot like the one on the Asterion XV01T... and the XV01T is a great candidate also, can they be going the XV02T way? I tried to turn my Asterion into a Dakar`esque truck (not pretty) but managed to pair it with a Kyosho Pajero Dakar body and it has been loads of fun... The XV01T is a great car to play Dakar.

Kalamity 32 Posted May 21, 2022 (edited) Also, the TT02 Chassis already had a truck variant, the Sandshaker... Edited May 21, 2022 by Kalamity duplicate Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
