MINI GT Silvia S15: D-MAX vs. Liberty Walk Drift Releases

Choose D-MAX for the specific D1 Grand Prix driver release, or LB-Super Silhouette for the Liberty Walk and Yukio Fausto version you want. Driver number and season matter: our catalog includes two different D-MAX drivers and several number-555 Fausto editions that should not be treated as duplicates.

Use the MINI GT buying-guide hub to compare other model families, then use the driver, season and exact item code below to choose an S15.

D-MAX: number 46 or number 70?

The D-MAX S15 number 46, MGT00857, identifies Masao Suenaga and the 2023 D1 Grand Prix. The number 70 D-MAX S15, MGT00855, identifies Masashi Yokoi and the same listed season.

MGT00857 is currently unavailable. Its page remains a reference for the exact number-46 model and any change in availability; MGT00855 is a separate current offer.

These are separate driver-and-car combinations. For a gift, matching the favorite driver's name and number is more reliable than choosing whichever product photograph appears first. For a team display, pairing both has a clear purpose, but the unavailable number-46 release makes this a collection plan rather than an available two-car set.

Fausto number 555: match the year as well as the number

The Yukio Fausto Formula Drift Japan 2023 release, MGT00895, and the 2024 V2 release, MGT00823, both carry number 555. The matching number does not make them the same item.

The Team MINI GT Liberty Walk 2025 edition, MGT01157, adds another explicitly dated release. Use the full code when completing a year-by-year display; a later product code is not a dependable substitute for reading the stated season.

MINI GT separately identifies MGT00895 as the 2023 Formula Drift Japan release and MGT00823 as the 2024 V2 release. These are the seasons represented by the cars, not a promise that the model item numbers follow chronological order.

The Halloween Special is a separate selection

The 2025 Halloween Special, MGT01185, also identifies Fausto, number 555 and Team MINI GT Liberty Walk. Its special-edition wording distinguishes it from MGT01157.

Choose it for that specific presentation. Do not infer glow-in-the-dark paint, lighting or a guaranteed rarity premium from “Halloween.” Those functions and investment outcomes are not established by the product description.

What the scale and steering labels establish

All six S15 references are described as 1:64 and right-hand drive. The current listings for MGT00857, MGT00855, MGT00823 and MGT01157 specify approximately 2.75 inches of model length, rubber tires, diecast metal bodies and chassis, and blister packaging.

The current descriptions for MGT00895 and MGT01185 do not establish that length or the same materials list. Their photographs show blister presentations, but a photograph does not measure the car or establish body and chassis materials. Confirm the exact dimensions and supplied packaging if those details determine your choice.

RHD describes represented steering position; it does not establish working steering. Similarly, “drift” identifies the racing subject, not a claim that the miniature is a radio-controlled drift car or a track-compatible toy. Buyers seeking a particular moving feature should verify that function separately.

Choose a collection plan that prevents accidental repeats

For a driver-focused purchase, start with the name and then check year and number. For a team pair, the two D-MAX releases make sense together. For a Fausto sequence, compare 2023, 2024 V2 and the two distinct 2025 editions before deciding which gap to fill.

A display label with driver, number, season and item code will keep visually related models easy to identify. Check the actual product images for the livery you prefer, and confirm the current availability of that exact code.

Questions about choosing an S15 release

Are the two D-MAX cars supplied together?

No. MGT00857 and MGT00855 are separate single-car releases. A package beside an enlarged car in a product photograph shows the same item twice, not an extra supplied vehicle. MGT00857 is currently unavailable, so check both references before planning a team pair.

Is MGT00823 earlier than MGT00895 because its number is lower?

No. MGT00823 is the 2024 V2 car; MGT00895 represents 2023. Read the stated season together with number 555 and the full item code. Neither the number 555 alone nor the numerical order of the product codes identifies the version.

Will a 2.75-inch recess fit every S15 here?

Do not assume it will. That approximate length is stated for four of the six references, while MGT00895 and MGT01185 need their measurements confirmed. Length also omits width, height and clearance around mirrors and rear wings. Use the MINI GT model-size and display-fit guide to plan usable space, and measure unopened packaging separately.

Keep a separate record for each D-MAX release

Keep Nissan Silvia S15 #46 Masao Suenaga D1GP 2023 — MINI GT 1:64 and Nissan Silvia S15 #70 Masashi Yokoi D1GP 2023 — MINI GT 1:64 as separate catalog records. Compare the exact model or set name, item number, finish, package contents and documented functions before deciding. If the written listing, package and photographs conflict, leave the uncertain feature unresolved rather than borrowing a claim from another release.

For Nissan Silvia S15 #46 Masao Suenaga D1GP 2023 — MINI GT 1:64, record the printed item number, scale and included pieces first. For Nissan Silvia S15 #70 Masashi Yokoi D1GP 2023 — MINI GT 1:64, repeat that check independently and note any package-only details. This two-record method prevents a shared brand, casting family or similar color from turning into an unsupported feature claim, and it gives you a clean comparison for storage, display and duplicate control.
