The Beemax 24006 Toyota Celica GT-FOUR (ST165) 1990 SAFARI RALLY VERSION 1/24 scale model is a real treat for lovers of classic cars as well as motorsport enthusiasts. This precise plastic assembly kit allows you to recreate one of the most iconic rally cars, which thrilled rally fans worldwide during the legendary Safari Rally in 1990.

The Toyota Celica GT-FOUR (ST165) was the Japanese manufacturer's rally weapon at the turn of the 1980s and 1990s. The specific "SAFARI RALLY" version was optimized for the extreme conditions of the African rally. This model represents the Group A era in the World Rally Championship, spanning the late 1980s and early 1990s. It gained fame in the hands of drivers such as Carlos Sainz and Juha Kankkunen, with Toyota mainly fielding it as the flag-bearer of Japan, competing against the world’s best teams. The Safari Rally is one of the toughest rallies in the WRC calendar, famous for its relentless conditions, spectacular battles with nature, and frequent mechanical failures.
