Looks so charming. Am I the only one drooling over this?

It’s nice, but holy cow, they went all out on the race technology, I’m guessing that someone somewhere must be racing these competitively, because it’s certainly priced as such.
Anyone notice that they also released a 40th Anniversary RTR version of the S240 ‘21?

As I have posted in other forums, for the price of the Serpent you can buy a FWD and a 4WD from say...Xpress, and still have money left over.
It's a cool concept, but at the projected price I can't see too many takers.

Isn't the point of m class that it's supposed to be a more affordable entry to racing than tc? That's some crazy pricing.
