depends on the kit. Most of race cars and some of the street cars do.

just because there is'nt a engine its a waste of your time? right.

If they do come with an engine, Tamiya will boast about it. Before purchasing, look at the list of features on the box. If it says, "Realistic chassis undersurface" it is curbside (no engine), but if it says "Complete engine detail" it has an engine.

Or, ask about a kit here and we'll tell you (probably) whether it has an engine or not.

Their Supra has an engine.

They make 2 road-going RX-7s. The Efini RX-7 is Curbside, but the RX-7 R1 has full engine detail. Make sure you get the R1!!!!

The DTM cars come with engines apart from the new OPEL.
These make a nice kit to build
