Keisuke’s FD Lights Up the Shelf – IG Model Reveals 1/18 Scale RX-7 with LEDs

Get ready to burn some rubber—on your display shelf. IG Model is bringing Initial D energy straight to your collection with the newly announced 1/18 scale RX-7 (FD3S) IG3801, based on Keisuke Takahashi’s legendary yellow beast from the Initial D manga’s final battle.

This isn’t just a car—it’s a precision-crafted tribute to one of the most iconic street machines in anime history. Decked out in RE Amemiya-style aero, a carbon fibre bonnet, GT wing, and 18-inch gold 6-spoke wheels, the FD looks ready to launch into the downhill at Akina any second. Oh, and yes—the suspension is slammed to race spec.

But the real twist? It lights up.

Thanks to a magnetic switch system, this RX-7 comes fully loaded with:

  • Working headlights
  • Taillights, reverse lights, and instrument panel lighting
  • Hazard light mode with a second tap
  • A third tap? Lights out.

The magic happens with a cleverly hidden power switch behind the fuel cap, and the car charges via a USB-C port tucked behind the licence plate—stealth mode level: expert.

Built using 3D scans of the actual vehicle and officially licensed, the RX-7 is more than just a looker—it’s Initial D-approved. Whether you’re chasing down dream cars or recreating your favourite manga scenes, this is one serious collector’s piece.
