Rather than step back, BMW returned in 1977 with the 320i Racing, built from the 1975-model 320i two-door sedan and fitted with a 298hp, 2.0-litre, 16-valve inline-four. Its aerodynamics are said to have been developed and refined at the Pininfarina facility in Italy, with a pronounced chin spoiler and rear wing added to the body. The 320i Racing made its competition debut at the opening round of the 1977 season, the 24 Hours of Daytona, kicking off an ongoing rivalry with the Porsche 935 in the 2-litre class.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecial Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAuthentically captures the racy form of the full-size car, including its pronounced over-fenders, chin spoiler and rear wing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRealistic depiction of the inline-four DOHC engine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDetailed interior featuring a roll cage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTyres moulded with Goodyear tread engravings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh-quality Cartograf decals and metal transfers for an authentic livery finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes one driver figure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat's in the Box\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlastic model kit components, including body, chassis and inline-four engine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDetailed interior parts with roll cage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTyres with Goodyear tread engravings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCartograf decal sheet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMetal transfers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOne driver figure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInstruction manual\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat You'll Need\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlastic cement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePaints\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinishing supplies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy You'll Love It\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA faithful update of a genuine Tamiya classic, this re-issue pairs the racy Group 5 silhouette of the original 320i Racing with premium Cartograf decals and metal transfers, making it a great pick for BMW fans and motorsport modellers chasing an authentic 1977 Daytona-era build.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"TAMIYA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45503669043223,"sku":"24379-000","price":47.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0787\/6637\/4935\/files\/24379-000.jpg?v=1789021716","url":"https:\/\/www.hobbyvault.com.au\/products\/tamiya-1-24-bmw-320i-racing","provider":"Hobby Vault Co","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
