You could have it with a Porsche body if you wanted.

I am partial to Porsches..... I wonder if that was pulled from the Bolink mold? Looks very similar.
I am not here cause I am playing photographer and on my mountain bike.

I remember seeing one of these on a racers desk at an rc event before I had my first one. I never knew who made it, but it stuck to my mind: it's easy enough to recognize with the split stick pack and electronics down the middle. Real cool!

Here´s another one with the same layout.
And I think there was one more, but I can´t remember the name.

Further information about the likeness to Bolink, Minicars sold the car to Bolink in the early 80:s
and it then became the Bolink Challenger.

Looks similar to the Mardave cars they are STILL selling over there,
and which are still very popular with the clubracer crowd,
Kamtec sells the cars and makes a bunch of different sedan bodies for them too.
They often have a pile of stuff on evilBay.
