Tamiya Wild One Hits The Streets In A Legal Electric Car Version

JAKARTA - Another quadricycle b is introduced in the European Union. It is known, Quadricycle is a category of four-wheeled mini-vehicles, designed with conditions that are not too stringent when compared to ordinary cars. Quadricles have limitations in terms of weight, engine power, and speed.

After a long rumored, the legendary 1980s toy car, Tamiya Wild One, is now present in the full-size electric car version that can be driven on the streets legally. The car, which is very targeted by this collector, has been converted into an electric bucket that meets traffic standards.

The name Wild One Max was created by The Little Car Company based in Bicester, England. The company is famous for turning iconic cars such as the Ferrari 250 TR and Bugatti Type 35 into small electric cars.

Wild One Max is a tribute to Tamiya Wild One, although with some adjustments it can be used in real life. These adjustments include the addition of a wider cabin with two seats, shorter suspensions, and the most important thing is the use of windshield wipers. This car is powered by eight batteries that can be exchanged with a total capacity of 14.4 kWh and gives a distance of about 193 km. Weighing 500 kg with a maximum speed of 96 km/hour.

In addition, with a ground clearance of 270mm, an approach angle of 34.1 degrees, and a departure angle of 50.8 degrees, this car is promised to bulldoze heavy terrains such as Land Rover Defender and Jeep Wrangler.

To be used on highways in Europe, Wild One Max has the same rules as Citro SIGN Ami's quadricycle rules, and the car can be ordered in the form of a driver on the left or right, with initial deliveries in early 2024.

Equipped with a Cobra seat with a four-point seat belt, customizable suspensions from Bilstein, per and spring Eibach, a 5.0-inch central display, a rear camera, and a 'giant sticker' like the one in the original version, with a retro-style sticker attached.

Reported by Autocar, July 9, the first 100 buyer, will get a launch edition package that includes a dashboard placard of carbon fiber, a unique 'hologram' wheel design, and a 1/10 Wild One toy car that is suitable for playing at home.

Wild One Max sells for 35.000 punsterling or around Rp. 680 million and will be exhibited at the Eibach booth at the Goodwood Festival of Speed this year. However, due to the fairly expensive price, it is estimated that the sales of non-quadricycle Citroen Ami are sold for only 8.095 pounds or around Rp. 154.6 million.
