The legendary final form of the Optima series is back as it was!

The prototype Optima Mid took 5 out of 10 places in the 4WD class A-main final race at the 2nd Electric Off-Road Car World Championship in the UK in 1987. The Optima Mid was then put on the market and competed in races around the world. The Turbo Optima Mid Special. the final form of the Optima Mid. was released in 1988. and the limited edition was so popular that it quickly sold out. For this reason. the Turbo Optima Mid Special. which is also called a legendary car by some. will be revived in 2025 as the 18th installment of the Kyosho Vintage Series. The original Turbo Optima Mid Special has a wheelbase that is 18mm longer than the Optima Mid. which brings out even greater high-speed stability and improved cornering speed. The main chassis. which is compatible with split batteries. uses a hybrid carbon plate with FRP sandwiched between carbon. achieving both moderate flexibility and high rigidity. The belts and belt covers are exclusive to the Turbo Optima Mid Special. and the body has been newly made to match the chassis. The reprinted Turbo Optima Mid Special retains these features. and has also been updated to accommodate modern power sources and R/C mechanisms. Parts that were previously optional are now standard. and some parts have been newly made for the Turbo Optima Mid Special. Also. dont miss the fact that this reprint is not a limited production but a regular catalog model. The Turbo Optima Mid Special. which is being revived on modern circuits. is an attractive model that will fulfill the wishes of not only those who once owned the original model. but also those who were unable to get their hands on it because it was a limited production item. and those who want to try running the final version of the Optima for the first time.

The 18th model in the Kyosho Vintage Series. This legendary car was released in limited quantities in 1988 and quickly sold out. and is now reproduced exactly as it was in the past.
