Tomica Limited Vintage Neo LV-N376a – Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution IX GSR in Yellow (1:64 Scale) The Tomica Limited Vintage Neo LV-N376a is a 1:64 scale die-cast model of the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution IX GSR — one of Japan's most celebrated all-wheel-drive performance sedans — rendered in vivid yellow with panel-level detail accuracy. Produced by Tomica (Takara Tomy), a manufacturer with over 50 years of die-cast production heritage, this model belongs to the Limited Vintage Neo series, which is specifically engineered for adult collectors seeking authentic replicas of Japanese domestic market (JDM) icons. Key Specifications Model Number: LV-N376a Scale: 1:64 Subject Vehicle: Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution IX GSR Colour: Yellow Construction: Die-cast metal body with plastic detail components Series: Tomica Limited Vintage Neo Manufacturer: Takara Tomy (Japan) Availability: Pre-order – SEP-2026 Why Collectors Choose the Limited Vintage Neo Series Unlike standard Tomica pocket-car releases, the Limited Vintage Neo line targets serious collectors with finer exterior detailing, era-accurate liveries, and tightly controlled production quantities. The Lancer Evolution IX GSR — powered in real life by a 2.0-litre turbocharged 4G63 engine and Mitsubishi's Super All Wheel Control (S-AWC) system — is a cornerstone of Japanese rally-derived road car culture, making this release particularly sought after for JDM-focused collections. Tradeoff to note: At 1:64 scale, interior cabin detail is minimal compared to larger-scale (1:43 or 1:18) alternatives. However, the compact format makes it ideal for high-density display cases and multi-car collections. How It Fits Your Collection JDM Performance Collection: Pairs naturally with Tomica Limited Vintage Neo releases of the Subaru Impreza WRX STI, Nissan Skyline GT-R (BNR34), and Honda Civic Type R — all key rivals of the Evo IX in period motorsport. Rally Heritage Display: Complements World Rally Championship (WRC) and All Japan Rally Championship (AJRC) diecast sets. Beginner Entry Point: Accessible price point for collectors new to the Limited Vintage Neo series who want a high-recognition subject vehicle.
