GT5′s “Stealth” Mazda 787B Scale Model Now Available
Polyphony Digital’s custom “stealth” race cars in Gran Turismo 5 are some of the most difficult to acquire in the game. Available as pre-order and Signature Edition incentives, they’re simply not available to the majority of players.
While their virtual scarcity isn’t likely to change soon, they are slowly beginning to make their debut in the real world thanks to the respected scale-modelers at Autoart. Late last year, three of GT5‘s “stealth” models, the Mazda 787B, the Nissan GT-R GT500, and the McLaren F1, appeared on the company’s website at 1/18th scale, but weren’t yet available to purchase.
Now, the Mazda 787B is apparently first out of the gate, as it goes on sale at Amazon.com for $246.99 (you can also find them on eBay). The price is high, but considering Autoart’s reputation for detail and quality, it’s still a must-buy for serious collectors.

1/18 is a joke. If this was 1/10 it would be 10x better.

Totally not worth it for that price. If Tamiya made this car it would look better and be more detailed. Bet you it’d be cheaper too

for that money i want to either be driven or drive the original. although for toy car collectors, give it many years…will be worth far more. So serious collectors…should invest.

Well count me as “not serious” then, cause it’s a “must not have” for that price.

At that price, the box should contain another shell with the regular livery, plus at the very least 1 DLC code for the actual game (regardless if you have the car in the game or not)

at that price you get a very detailed car like their others. I have a quit a few they are worth the price compared to other makers whose prices range from $99.99 to $150 and don’t have removable shells or even 1/4 the detail. For your wants they could add another $125 and have a good time trying to replace every piece to make the Renown livery. It’s more than just body shells.

they do the renown livery anyway for cheaper. $40 cheaper according to there website. Not all Autoarts models are well detailed though. There Porsche 917k is a disappointment. Engine consists of a yellow plastic fan. Some orange wires and a black piece of plastic. Luckily though i got mine a while ago before prices went up. I paid £45. Now it sells for £80+. Minichamps are better imo. Good prices and detailing is sometimes better than autoart.

Amazing – but the rear wing is not in proper alignment.

Perhaps what you’re seeing is the distortion in the camera lens. Most of the time when you’re looking at a photo and things seem askewed, it’s due to barrel distortion. It’s more apparent when taking close-up which is the case here.

For the money I much prefer CMC models. They’re the same scale and retail at between £150-200 depending on the car, but they’re really works of art. Hand assembled with between 1500-2000 parts, they wouldn’t look out of place in a museum. The ’58 testa rossa is built with a proper chassis and the v12 looks like the real thing shrunk with a ray gun.

Its good for people with plenty of money, why not give us the REEDEM code for the car instead???
