2026 NTT INDYCAR #2 Josef Newgarden / Team Penske (Road Course) in 1:18 scale
The #2 car of Josef Newgarden in the 2026 NTT IndyCar Series represents one of the most accomplished drivers in modern American open-wheel racing. A two-time series champion (2017, 2019) and back-to-back Indianapolis 500 winner in 2023 and 2024, Newgarden entered the 2026 season with Team Penske aiming to rebound from a difficult 2025 campaign while continuing to contend for wins and another title.
His #2 Dallara/Chevrolet machine stands out through its highly refined, spec-based design combined with Team Penske’s engineering precision. Powered by a Chevrolet twin-turbo V6 and backed by a stable engineering lineup—including race engineer Luke Mason and strategist Jonathan Diuguid—the car emphasizes consistency and race execution, particularly on ovals where Newgarden has historically excelled. What makes this entry unique compared to others on the grid is its blend of continuity and adaptability: the same proven chassis package is fine-tuned race-to-race with different aerodynamic setups (road course, street course, and oval configurations), allowing Newgarden to extract maximum performance across all disciplines. Additionally, the evolving sponsor liveries (Astemo, Shell, PPG, Snap-on, XPEL) give the #2 car a distinct visual identity that can vary between events, making each race version subtly unique within the same season.

models are exceptionally accurate of scale, shape and detail. Interior detail is hand assembled and easily
visible. Photo etched parts, die-cutting, tampo printing and waterslide decals are often used for a most
authentic replication.
