Why this kit matters
The Toyota Celica LB Turbo Gr.5 was a standout in the late 1970s Group 5 racing scene, known for its dramatic wide-body styling and turbocharged performance. Developed to compete in the FIA's Group 5 "Special Production Car" category, this Celica was engineered by Toyota Team Europe and raced in events such as the DRM (Deutsche Rennsport Meisterschaft) in Germany. Its bold design and competitive spirit made it a fan favourite and a symbol of Toyota's motorsport ambitions during the era.
This model kit captures the essence of the original car, allowing hobbyists to recreate a piece of racing history. The Celica LB Turbo Gr.5's unique silhouette and racing pedigree make it a must-have for anyone passionate about classic touring cars and the golden age of motorsport.
