Developed by TOYOTA GAZOO Racing, the TS050 HYBRID is a sports prototype car with a carbon fibre monocoque and closed cockpit body. Its hybrid powertrain employs a midship 2.4-litre twin turbo direct injection V6, a high-powered lithium-ion battery, and Motor Generator Units (MGUs) on front and rear axles. Its superior performance and reliability brought seven victories in the 2018–2019 season, including 2018 and 2019 triumphs at Le Mans. Tamiya has faithfully recreated the 2019 Le Mans winning car with this model kit release, featuring updated sponsor logo marking decals from the 2019 season and updated masking stickers to make painting easier.
