Car enthusiasts, racing fans, and model lovers—this is something you can’t miss. Presenting the 1/20 scale plastic model of the Toyota Celica LB Turbo Gr.5. This legendary machine, a fusion of Japanese and German engineering spirit, made a striking debut at the 1977 German Racing Championship and is now revived in the palm of your hand.

At a glance, it resembles the Celica—but take a closer look and it’s a whole different beast. Based on the liftback 2000GT, it features aggressively flared overfenders, a sky-slicing rear wing, and a lightweight body made almost entirely of FRP. With a total weight of just 860kg, it must have made a serious impact on the race scene back then.

The engine of this Celica was tuned by Schnitzer, famed for their work with BMW. Based on Toyota’s inline 4-cylinder, it was enlarged to 2090cc, upgraded to 4-valves, and turbocharged to produce a massive 560 horsepower. The mention of a KKK turbocharger will surely hit home with fans who remember the era.

Its debut race was at Hockenheim in 1977. And then, in October of that same year, it shocked everyone by defeating the mighty Porsche 935 and taking the win. Who could have imagined a Celica would triumph over Porsche on German soil? That’s just how much potential and romance this machine held.

This isn’t just a scaled-down replica—it’s a faithful recreation of the aerodynamic body of the real car, packed into a 240mm model bursting with presence. The front cowl can even be removed, allowing a detailed view of the engine. It’s too good to simply display—you’ll find yourself picking it up and admiring it again and again.

The interior, lined with a full roll cage, is a visual feast. Each detailed part has incredible dimensionality, making you feel like you're peeking into a real cockpit. The slick tires, with differing front and rear sizes, are made of real rubber for top-notch texture. It even includes high-quality Cartograf slide decals for a flawless finish—no compromises here.

Build the legend with your own hands! And to top it off, a driver figure is included. You can even choose the car number to suit your preference. From the assembly process to the finished model, this kit is packed with the joy of craftsmanship and the thrill of racing.

This isn’t just a model kit. It’s a time machine that lets you relive the speed and passion of a bygone era—right in your hands. Add it to your collection today.
