Description
Tamiya is delighted to announce an updated re-issue of Item 24002 1/24 BMW 320i Racing (originally sold in 1977: motorised at that time) with new Cartograf decals and metal transfers, and updated instruction manual. BMW took on the 1976 World Championship for Makes with the 3.0CSL, and while Porsche took both the Division 3 title for cars over 3,000cc and the Division 2 title for those between 2,000cc and 3,000cc, BMW did not back down and returned in 1977 for a renewed challenge with the 320i Racing: based on the 1975 release 320i two-door saloon, it was souped up with a 298hp 2,000cc 16-valve inline-4 engine. The body’s aerodynamics are said to have undergone testing and refinement in the Pininfarina facility in Italy, and were enhanced with a pronounced chin spoiler and a rear wing. The 320i Racing made its debut in the opening race of the 1977 season, the 24 Hours of Daytona, and its heated rivalry in the 2-litre class with the Porsche 935 would continue.
