KYOSHO ORIGINAL 1/18scale DODGE CHARGER (FAST & FURIOUS) [No.KS08974FF ]

First released in 2001, FAST & FURIOUS became an instant global hit. Known for its high-octane street races and the intense drama of car-obsessed characters, the film’s real appeal lies in its outrageous machines and unforgettable chase scenes.

Among the many cars that appear in the series, two stand out as true icons from the 1^st film:

Brian O’Conner’s Toyota Supra which was driven by the late Paul Walker, and Dominic Toretto’s Dodge Charger, played by Vin Diesel.

Brian’s Supra begins as a near-scrap shell that is rebuilt and tuned with his crew until it becomes a Ferrari-beating monster. Dom’s Charger on the other hand is a treasured keepsake from his father, patiently stored in the garage as he dreams of bringing it back to life.

These two legends collide in the film’s dramatic climax: a head-to-head street showdown, launching over a railroad crossing just moments before a train blasts through. It’s a scene etched into the memory of fans worldwide.

The FAST & FURIOUS series is known for its wide cast of cars, but across all films, these two machines remain the most beloved and iconic of them all.

The Kyosho Original Mini Car Series was first introduced in 1991, 34 years ago. As the name suggests, it is a long-standing mini car lineup that represents Kyosho.

Today, the series is available in multiple scales such as 1/12, 1/18, and 1/43, but it originally began in 1/18 scale. Taking advantage of its relatively large size for a mini car, the series has, from the very beginning, excelled at combining accurate proportions of the real vehicles with a high level of detail reproduction, including engines and interiors.

A model suitable for mass production that uses a body formed by pouring molten non-ferrous alloy into a mold. While it cannot achieve the same level of fine detail as a resin model, it offers the unique heft, durability, and resistance to aging that only metal can provide.
