The Cyber Formula race, in which machines equipped with highly developed navigation systems compete, has attracted many fans as the pinnacle of motorsports alongside F1. The Issuxark 00-X3, introduced by Union Saber from the opening round of the 15th World Grand Prix in 2020, uses room-temperature superconducting linear wheels for the power unit in partnership with Sturmzehnder. The machine design was also significantly changed by introducing a “rolling cockpit” that increases the inner downforce and increases the stability of the car by swinging the cockpit left and right when cornering. In the second half of the season, the power unit was returned to the conventional hydrogen engine, and the car was equipped with a boost mechanism and the Messer Wing, which is synonymous with the Issuxark, significantly improving the machine’s performance. Naoki Shinjyo joined Union Saber from the second half of the 15th World Grand Prix, and won the Japanese GP — his return race with this machine.

This 1/24-scale model kit from Aoshima reproduces Naoki Shinjyo’s Issuxark 00-X3 from “Cyber Formula”! The rolling cockpit can be moved even after the model is completed; the steering is movable too. The downforce rotor deployment can be reproduced by parts selection; a Naoki Shinjyo driver figure is included, and the cockpit can also be built open. Order it for your own collection today!
