The Blue Metallic has the silver-plated wheels, the Gold Metallic has the gun metal-plated wheels and the Black Metallic has the red-plated wheels.

Black Special variant

The Black Special, based on the original's Black Special variant, features the black smoke bodyshell. The body decals has their pattern modified to resembles the original's Black Special's.

It has the chassis frame molded in the polycarbonate-mixed ABS plastic. It was equipped with neon pink wheels and the black, super hard-compound tires.

Over Drive variant

The limited Over Drive variant features the clear blue bodyshell, with numerous decal design changes such as the placement of the actual manufacturer logos (Proneer on the sides of the side cowl, for instance). The kit was made to promote the 2018 Japanese movie Over Drive, which premiered on June 1, 2018.

It was equipped with the silver plated, small diameter low-profile Y-spoke wheels paired with the black low-profile slick tires that has the 'Spica Racing Factory' and 'Over Drive' printed on it. Both the chassis and the A parts were molded in black.

Trivia

  • The Aero Avante was released as part of the 30th anniversary of Tamiya Mini 4WD.
  • The Aero Avante has the R/C buggy counterpart which was based on the Mini 4WD car[1][2]. Much like the original Avante, Avante 2001 and Avante Mk.II R/C buggies, the Aero Avante R/C buggy utilizes the four-wheel-drive DF-02 chassis, which has similar drivetrain layout of the original Avante.
    • Ironically, the DF-02 chassis is the predecessor to the Avante Mk.II's DF-03 chassis and is inferior than the latter. By contrast, the AR Chassis on the Aero Avante Mini 4WD car is superior than the Avante Mk.II's MS Chassis.
  • It is the second car to have the real 1/1 car after Gun-Bluster XTO.
  • It is one of the two Avante Mini 4WD cars (The other being the Avante Jr.) that introduced the new chassis.
  • It replaced the Avante Jr. as the cover car for the 2012 season of Tamiya Japan Cup.
  • The boxart of the Black Special variant resembles the one for the original Avante Jr. Black Special.
