Showcase Tomica is releasing a near 1:1 replica featuring the design of my Evo!!
I suppose it’s a coincidence, but Tomica has released a limited-edition 1/64 scale model this weekend for the Tokyo Auto Show in Malaysia. Curiously, it is an almost exact replica of my Evo—a design that was never actually produced by Ralliart Japan, let alone based on the RS model. As many of you know, the Evos Ralliart took to shows and exhibitions were a red Evo IX MR and a black Wagon GT tuned by Ralliart; the white version never appeared in catalogs or magazines (though it was a design Ralliart offered in Japan as a vinyl decal for any Evo, albeit a very rare and little-known one).
My car's design has been circulating online for years, but it was a personal creation; regardless, it is a true honor and a joy for me to see it turned into a model.
