Hot Bodies 1/12th scale prototype

Photographed by our partners RC Forum, on the show booth of Hot Bodies/HPI, is this prototype 1/12th scale car. Nothing is mentioned about this car in the recent releases on any of the manufacturers websites which would lead one to think that it may be a long way off completion although from the photo the car looks ready. The chassis itself looks very similar to the Associated RC12L4 but its very hard to differentiate between the current breed of 1/12th scale cars.

UPDATE: More pictures of the 1/12th scale added…
