Tomley RC, the man with an unbridled passion for the iconic Honda City Turbo, a car that holds a special place in his heart as it proudly serves as the emblem of his YouTube channel. This turbocharged legend has undergone a series of transformations over the years, culminating in the current 2025 F version, which he is meticulously fine-tuning in his latest video. With a collection that includes a white City Turbo replica and an array of Hot Wheels models, it's clear that Tomley RC's devotion to this vehicle knows no bounds.
Delving deeper into the realm of die-cast cars, Tomley RC unveils the original 1983 Honda City Turbo Racing edition, a rare gem that he treasures in his collection.

Venturing beyond the confines of his workshop, Tomley RC takes us on a thrilling journey to the Newburg toy fair, where Tamiya unveils the revival of the City Turbo, sending waves of excitement through the automotive enthusiast community. Back in his domain, the City Turbo project nears completion as he adds the final touches, such as striking gold wheels that accentuate its sleek design. Offering viewers a chance to win a customized City Turbo model with upgraded features, Tomley RC showcases the car's prowess on the tarmac, demonstrating its speed and agility with finesse and flair.
