Mini 4WD Wiki

The Super Avante (Japanese: スーパーアバンテ, Sūpā Abante) is a Mini 4WD car released on February 28, 1995 by Tamiya. It is one of the variants of the Avante Jr..

It was featured in the manga and anime Bakusou Kyoudai Let's & Go! where it was made by Tesshin Okada, and was kept by Dr.Tsuchiya. It was the prototype and the base of the Saber machines the Seiba brothers own. The RS variant was also used by Shun Daichi in Let's & Go! Tsubasa: The Next Racers.

General info

The bodyshell of the Super Avante is similar to that of the original Avante Jr., but with major differences. The front absorber props have been replaced by a pair of fins and air-ducts for cooling the motor while running.

Super Avante, VS, White Special and RS

The bodyshell of the original Super Avante, the VS variant, the White Special variant and the RS variant, were molded in white, with two tones of blue mix onto it.

Instead of the Type-2 Chassis of the original Avante, the original Super Avante comes with the Type-5 Chassis molded in dark green. VS and White Special were equipped with VS Chassis molded in black and white respectively, while the RS variant was equipped with the blue Super-II Chassis with cyan A parts.

Both variants comes equipped with Avante-type slick tires and large-diameter 6-spoke Teardrop-type wheels, with the original Super Avante and VS variant being equipped with the red wheels and black tires, the White Special variant being equipped with white wheels and tires and the RS variant being equipped with silver-plated wheels and lightsalmon tires.

Black Special and Tamiya Korea 20th Anniversary Special

Both the Black Special and Tamiya Korea 20th Anniversary Special featuring the black bodyshells with different body decals design and metallic blue canopy.

Both variants comes equipped with the blue-plated, large-diameter 5-spoke lightweight narrow wheels paired with pale yellow hard arched tires.

A variant of the Black Special, which was released on October 1st, 2016, also comes with the carbon lightweight wheels in addition to the blue-plated wheels..

Asia Challenge 2017 Special

The Indonesia-limited Asia Challenge 2017 Special variant features the red body color, with holo-like highlight, orange and black stripes on it.

It was equipped with the gun metal, small diameter low-profile Y-spoke wheels paired with red tires. The chassis frame and A parts were molded in white and red respectively.

In anime and manga

Spoiler alert!

This section of the article may contains details concerning the progression of the plot. If you do not want it to be spoiled for you, skip this section!

Bakusou Kyoudai Let's & Go!

Shortly after the Seiba brothers got out of the virtual racing simlutator cockpits, they found out that someone has been broken into Dr.Tsuchiya's lab and stole something: the Super Avante. In the end, they retrieved the Super Avante despite it being damaged; losing a front right wheel and the front right bumper parts.

In the anime version, it was two armed thugs hired by Dr. Ogami who stole the Super Avante, while in the manga, it was someone from an undisclosed rival corporation.

Let's & Go! Tsubasa: The Next Racers

Shun Daichi, one of the main characters and a member of the Team Pegasus, owns a Super Avante RS, which he uses since the founding of the team.

Unfortunately, Shun's Super Avante was heavily damaged by the Black Brocken G Team to the point it stop functioning. This event eventually led him getting the Cosmosonic from Retsu.

Unlike the original Super Avante in the Let's & Go! series, Shun's Super Avante was a mass-produced model (as is in real-life), but was heavily tuned and matching that of Tsubasa's Z Wing Magnum in terms of overall performance.

Trivia

  • The Super Avante, along with Avante X and Avante Mk.III, are the only Avante Mini 4WD cars without a radio control counterparts.
  • The Super Avante was initially created for Bakusou Kyoudai Let's & Go!, hence the lack of a radio control counterpart; however, later re-releases omit the Let's & Go! fact; the sticker packet in the RS version also omitted the KOSHITA/SHOGAKUKAN copyright.
  • The Super Avante is the only car that has multiple SK Japan special re-release, dubbed Ifrit (available in 4 colors), Legend Style (available in 2 colors) and Legend Style Next (available in 2 colors). Both versions use VS Chassis, so does a special edition of the car celebrating the 20th anniversary of the Korean branch of Tamiya.
