This model is part of the Then And Now series, which celebrates iconic designs across different eras. Designer Phil Riehlman brought his signature flair to this diecast version by applying bold graphics that mimic vintage endurance racing liveries. The car features red and blue stripes along with sponsor decals like YOKOHAMA on the doors. It brings a nostalgic feel for fans of Japanese performance cars from the 1970s while keeping it fun and modern for today's collectors.
