CARISMA M48S SUBARU IMPREZA WRC 1997 NIGHT RALLY EDITION
Carisma is proud to introduce the 94168 M48S Subaru WRC 1997 Night Rally Edition, a special version of the acclaimed M48S platform that celebrates one of the most iconic rally cars of the World Rally Championship era. Combining officially licensed scale realism with upgraded durability, tunability, and an all-new remote-controlled lighting system, the Night Rally Edition delivers an immersive driving experience both day and night.
Built on the proven M48S 1/8-scale chassis, this latest release takes inspiration directly from the legendary Subaru World Rally Team machines that dominated rally stages during the late 1990s. The unmistakable World Rally Blue bodywork, gold 5-spoke wheels, front-mounted auxiliary lamps and detailed rally livery capture the unmistakable look of the Subaru WRC 1997 car that became a motorsport icon.
Designed for enthusiasts who demand more than just scale appearance, the Night Rally Edition introduces strengthened suspension components, adjustable wheelbase geometry and integrated LED lighting with remote on/off functionality via the CTX-8000 transmitter. Whether you're attacking loose surfaces, carving through sweeping bends, or staging dramatic night runs, the M48S Subaru WRC 1997 Night Rally Edition delivers the perfect blend of performance, realism and rally heritage.
The Legend Behind the Car.
Few rally cars have achieved the legendary status of the Subaru Impreza WRC. During the 1990s, Subaru and Prodrive forged one of the most successful partnerships in World Rally Championship history, creating a series of cars that became synonymous with speed, durability, and spectacular sideways driving.
The 1997 Subaru WRC represented the next evolution of the championship-winning Impreza platform. Driven by rally legends such as Colin McRae, the car combined turbocharged power, sophisticated four-wheel drive technology, and aggressive aerodynamic styling to become one of the most recognizable rally machines ever built. Wearing the iconic blue and yellow Subaru World Rally Team colours, it helped cement Subaru's place in motorsport history and remains a favourite among rally enthusiasts worldwide.
The Night Rally Edition pays tribute to that legacy, recreating the appearance and spirit of the 1997 Subaru WRC while adding modern RC technology and enhanced night-driving capability.
