Pictures from the Nuremberg (sp?) Toy fair. Noticed someone mentioned it under the CAT post. The website say it's called the:

Schumacher Menace RallyGame Prototype

However thee car above it is called the RallyGame as well so there may be an error with that.

I'm not sure what it's supposed to be exactly, 1/8th?

Thanks

Think, lowered Menace, and thats what it is.

Built in the same vein as the old Mantua RallyGame cars, not a true 1/10 car, but close. Usually based on Rallycrossers.

Looks like a 'McLaren F1' body. ;)

Well it's clear that it's based on the Fusion/Menace chassis. It's just the width looks 1/8th scale, can't be an off-roader (or a very capable one surely?).

Looks like we'll have to sit tight and wait to see what schuie have to say.

They call them RallyGame, but are really Sports/GT. Rather like these: http://www.cmldistribution.co.uk/ftx_street.htm
