Kyosho under the Samurai brand are releasing their version of the 1:18 Mitsubishi Lancer EVO X Final Edition. Do we really need another 1:18 Lancer EVO when so many alternatives are already available? We think not. Nonetheless the model is completed in resin with closed-body design.
Product# TBD
Looks nice, when will they be available?
Release date is this month, September.
No I don’t see any reason either why I should want this too expensive Otto/GT-Spirit with another brand name on it. There’s a really nice diecast version of the standard EVO X and you can be the wheels separately and modify the model if you want to.
Maybe if it was a real GT-Spirit, this was a nice to have.
Would be great if GT-Spirit made the EVO 1 – 5, as the ONE models are way overpriced and hard to find.
Yes, exactly, I was going to say the same. The CSM standard EVO X does the job for me. Plus I´ve custumized a white Evo X RHD into the famous UK Humberside Police Road Crime interceptor with lights and sound. So I won´t buy the Kyosho either.
“When so many alternatives are available”
You mean like… One? Don’t get me wrong, I also like the CSM better, but they are the only ones who made the Evo X, aren’t they?
I think this is an opportunity missed. The CSM model is excellent but I was hoping they would produce more hardcore versions such as the Evo X FQ400 which has a deeper spoiler and special grills. That would have made this model more interesting but as it is, it looks very similar to the CSM model but without opening parts and will probably be more expensive.
Can we get updates I’m definitely looking to buy
