KYOSHO ORIGINAL 1/18scale LAMBORGHINI SILHOUETTE (WHITE) [No.KSR18513W]

This new release in the Kyosho Original Mini Car Series is a 1/18 resin model of the Lamborghini Silhouette P300. The real car, unveiled by Lamborghini—one of Italy’s most renowned sports car manufacturers—at the 1976 Geneva Motor Show, is a mid-engined sports car. While retaining the basic structure of its four-seater predecessor the Lamborghini Urraco, the Silhouette underwent significant updates in its conversion to a two-seater with a Targa top. Unlike the high-end 12-cylinder Countach, the Silhouette's 3-liter V8 engine is mounted in a transversely positioned midship configuration. As Lamborghini's entry-level model aimed primarily at the North American market, production of the Silhouette continued until 1979 when it was succeeded by the Jalpa.

First launched in 1991, the Kyosho Original Mini Car Series showcases Kyosho’s long history of producing exquisite mini cars. Today, the series includes various scales such as 1/12, 1/18, and 1/43, but it originally started with the 1/18 scale. By utilizing this relatively large size for a diecast mini car model, the series has maintained its founding philosophy of accurately replicating the proportions of real vehicles while featuring high levels of detail in areas such as the engine and interior.

A die-cast model is a miniature car made using a body formed by pouring molten non-ferrous alloy into a metal mold. This type of model is well-suited for mass production. While it cannot achieve the same level of fine detail as a resin model, it offers the unique appeal of metal, including a solid weight, durability, and minimal aging over time.

A resin model is a miniature car made primarily from non-foamed urethane resin and produced in small quantities. Unlike die-cast models, it uses a different type of mold which is suitable for lower production numbers and delivers superior detail and accuracy in reproduction.
