1967 Toyota 2000GT White in 1:18 scale
This is the 1967 Toyota 2000GT White in 1:18 scale by AUTOart.
The 1967 Toyota 2000GT was Japan’s first true supercar and a landmark vehicle that redefined the global perception of Japanese automotive engineering. With its sleek, low-slung design by Yamaha and a 2.0-liter straight-six engine producing 150 horsepower, the 2000GT combined high performance with elegant aesthetics rivaling the best from Europe. What truly set it apart was its rarity—only 351 units were built—and its role as a cultural icon, notably appearing in the James Bond film You Only Live Twice. The 2000GT proved that Japan could compete with Ferrari, Porsche, and Jaguar on the world stage, both in style and sophistication.
This high-end composite model is hand painted and polished to a beautiful finish. The
undercarriage, suspension, brakes, and exhaust are nicely replicated. Opening doors, hood,
trunk and amazing engine detail.
AUTOart's latest innovation in composite and diecast models, or exquisitely crafted replicas made from a
hybrid of different materials that have been selected and engineered to produce both the supreme finish
detail and high value our collectors demand. Model making will never be the same. In composite models,
AUTOart pairs a die-cast interior with a newly developed injection Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), a
thermoplastic polymer with special blend of different materials for reinforcement of the body, utilizing the
benefits of both materials to create the highest quality models our company has ever produced. Injection
ABS composite material has shown itself to be an ideal material to form the body of a model car.
Compared to our old body material, die-cast zinc, injected-ABS composite material surfaces, with correct
formulation, are smoother and the bodylines and creases are sharper. The openings for vents and holes
are also reproduced more cleanly, and the panels can be much thinner when rendered in ABS composite
material than in zinc alloy. That makes the finished body closer to the true scale gauge of real car bodies.
