Continuing with the 60th anniversary of Kyosho
We are super excited to announce the very limited production release of the Optima Mid 1987 Prototype replica.
This replica car is based on the prototype car of Akira Kogawa, who was the main designer behind the Optima Mid at Kyosho and features his peppermint green colour scheme (Bodyshell is not painted)
Akira also took part at the 1987 world championships in Romsey England where the Kyosho team used the prototype car to great success securing 5 cars out of 10 in the main A final!
Many of the production moulded parts were not ready prior to the World Championships, so the prototype featured many CNC machined aluminium and carbon parts along with a modified Optima Pro bodyshell.
This will be a very limited production run of one batch only.
The packaging will be in a special small size box with handle.
