The Little Car Company has finally unveiled its much-anticipated life-size Tamiya Wild One MAX car.

Modeled from the original 1985 radio-controlled Tamiya Wild One (58050), this full-scale edition is fully drivable with a total power capacity of 14.4kWh. It runs on eight removable battery packs and is capable of reaching 80.5km per hour at top speed. Weighing around 500kg, the Wild One MAX has a ground clearance of 270mm. As for its maximum estimated range, it can last up to 200km on-road and about 110km off-road.

Unlike the previous Tamiya RC car that was released in 2021, the new Wild One MAX can seat up to two people with its cobra bucket seats and four-point harnesses. It’s a rear-wheel drive, geared with 14-inch Maxxis off-road tires at both front and rear, while also being certified with a road-legal pack in the UK and EU under the L7e quadricycle regulations.

The Tamiya Wild One MAX will be publicly displayed at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, taking place between July 13 and July 16 in West Sussex, England. Releasing as a limited run of 100 examples, the car will also be open for ordering starting July 13  with a starting price of £35,000 GBP (approximately $45,083 USD). Production of the car will commence starting in 2024, those who are interested can visit the vehicle’s official webpage for more information.
