Tamiya Daihatsu Kopen (Future Included) RMZ (VS Chassis)(18081)

Announced alongside the Daihatsu KOPEN "Future Included" concept car's debut at the Tokyo Motor Show 2013, this Mini 4WD model translates the real car's swappable-body-panel concept into two distinct kits. The RMZ version featured here recreates the concept's sporty variant, with a smooth, flowing silhouette, and is built on the short-wheelbase VS chassis for nimble handling. It's finished with silver-colored wheels and low-profile tires and runs a 4:1 gear ratio.

At 145mm overall, the RMZ kit is 5mm shorter than its XMZ sibling's 150mm, a difference that tracks directly with the VS chassis's shorter wheelbase versus the Super-II chassis used on the XMZ. Both variants were revealed together at the same 2013 motor show unveiling, letting Tamiya launch the KOPEN's swappable-panel concept as a matched pair of kits rather than a single body design.
