Shadow Pro by GCD: Lamborghini LM002, Nissan Patrol and Big Trucks in 1:64
Share
If Shadow is the friendly entry to the GCD family, Shadow Pro is where it gets serious and strange. The line leans into unusual subjects: a 1980s Lamborghini off-roader, a Nissan Patrol that most brands skip, and full-size trucks. This guide explains what Shadow Pro is, what it makes, and how to collect it in India. If you are new to the family, read our Shadow vs Shadow Pro guide first.
What Shadow Pro Is
Shadow Pro is the higher tier in the GCD family, sitting above Shadow on price. Our own listings describe it as offering more detail and a collector-grade presentation, and its catalogue favours unusual vehicles over obvious icons. Retailers abroad list Shadow Pro models that include a Dodge Ram 1500 TRX, a Mercedes-Benz Actros in a limited pink-pig livery and a Mitsubishi Fuso double-level transporter, which tells you where the line's interests lie: trucks, big and unusual.
The Lamborghini LM002
The LM002 is Shadow Pro's signature model. Lamborghini built it in the 1980s as a huge, V12-powered off-road vehicle, and it earned the nickname "Rambo Lambo". Almost no 1:64 brand makes it, which is why it is a favourite among collectors who like the odd one out.
- Lamborghini LM002, Red (about ₹2,199 at the time of writing)
- Lamborghini LM002, Green
Our listings describe the model as having a diecast metal body, with a wide, aggressive stance that suits the real vehicle.
The Nissan Patrol
The Shadow Pro Nissan Patrol GR (Y60) in red is a classic Japanese off-roader from the late 1980s and 1990s, popular wherever tough desert and bush driving is part of life. It is offered as a pre-order with a ₹299 booking amount, and the listing shows the full price and estimated arrival. It is a good counterpoint to the Lamborghini: the same off-road idea, but humble and reliable instead of flamboyant.
The Trucks
Shadow Pro is where GCD's love of trucks goes furthest:
- Mercedes-Benz Actros GigaSpace: a big European tractor cab.
- Mitsubishi Fuso Fighter 2017 Double Deck Tow Truck, Martini Racing livery: a two-level transporter that can carry cars. Check the listing for its current pre-order status.
