Product Description
- A replica of the HINO machine that completed the Dakar Rally in 2025.
[About the actual vehicle]
The rally raid, started in 1978 by Frenchman Thierry Sabine, initially developed as the "Paris-Dakar Rally," primarily held on the African continent. The competition, which involves driving on unpaved roads and through desert terrain, requires modified and reinforced vehicles capable of withstanding the demanding conditions, resulting in special machines specifically designed for the Dakar Rally. Japan's Hino Motors has participated in the truck division since 1991. In the rally held in Saudi Arabia from January 3rd to 17th, 2025, they entered a machine based on their 600 series diesel engine. The engine was an 8.866-liter direct-injection turbocharged inline six-cylinder diesel, equipped with a full-time four-wheel drive system. The HINO Team Sugawara, led by Teruhito Sugawara, with a crew of three—Teruhito Sugawara, Hirokazu Someya, and Yuji Mochizuki—achieved a remarkable 13th place finish.
[About the model]
This model is a pre-painted and assembled replica of the HINO 600 series truck No. 607, which placed 13th in the truck category of the 2025 Dakar Rally.
The model is 1/43 scale, approximately 160mm long and 60mm wide, and faithfully reproduces not only the style of the racing truck but also the chassis, suspension, and other mechanisms in detail. The body also reproduces the coloring and the various sponsor marks painted on it. The carp streamer mascot, an indispensable part of Team Sugawara's machine, is also included as a separate part. From the underside of the vehicle, the four-wheel drive drive shafts and suspension that transmit power to the front and rear of the ladder frame are also modeled in three dimensions, giving the impression of a tough, hard-working machine. It also features a window package that allows you to see the interior.
