The Fujimi 183800 Initial D Lancer Evolution V in 1/24 scale is a unique offering for every fan of Japanese automotive culture as well as the iconic manga and anime Initial D. This kit allows you to independently build a precise model of the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution V – the car driven in the series by Kyoichi Sudo, leader of Emperor team, known for showy battles on the mountain roads of Gunma.

The model replicates the car from the 1990s – present day period and perfectly captures the characteristic, aggressive design of the Evo V: wide fenders, massive front bumper, sport rims, and the distinctive rear wing that made this car an icon both on street circuits and in pop culture. Besides its beautiful body lines, the kit accurately recreates interior details, the dashboard, bucket seats, and a well-detailed chassis with 4x4 drivetrain, true to the original design used by Japanese drivers.
