Default Latest on HPI front drive car

The production version of the HPI Mini prototype will now be called "Switch." The chassis and suspension arms are made from transluscent white nylon, allowing you to somewhat see the drivetrain and diff. The motor and drive gear is still in-line. The Japanese magazine article touts is as a low-price, fun car. The sad part is that the choice of bodies will be limited to the Fiat Abarth 500 and Alfa Romeo. That's right, no Mini.
