One of the latest to be released by Tamiya to be shown among others in 2008 Shizuoka Hobby Show. The TA05-IFS R version carries similar performance parts of TA05 R but in IFS version. Tamiya has been introducing R version of their intermediate range as an upgrade over the stock standard. Beside the IFS-R, we expect some derivatives of TB EVO5 in MS version and brand new TB03 which has been speculated as EVO4 in tub version. Some new bodyshells are going to be released as well following the TT01 E platform. To name a few there will be Volkswagen Golf GTI (TT01-E short), Suzuki SX-4 (TT01-E short) and Nissan Skyline GT-R which draws the most anticipation!
