Volkswagen Golf II GTI 16V – Limited Edition Kit (58748)
MB-01 Chassis – 1/10 Scale R/C Model Kit
Since its debut in 1974, the Volkswagen Golf has continuously evolved, becoming a global benchmark in the compact car segment. In 1986, the legendary GTI 16V version was introduced as part of the second-generation Golf lineup (Golf II, launched in 1983). Equipped with a 1,781cc inline-four engine featuring dual overhead camshafts and 16 valves, a specially prepared GTI 16V also took part in international rally competitions—securing a class championship in 1986.
This limited-edition version of the 58748 kit brings the spirit of that era to the R/C world. Built on the MB-01 chassis with a long wheelbase and front-motor/front-wheel-drive layout, it captures the unmistakable character of the iconic GTI.
The pre-painted polycarbonate body shell comes finished in Bright Red (PS-34), with smoke-tinted windows (PS-31). Wheel arches are pre-cut, and body post holes are pre-drilled for convenient mounting.
