I think the Blitzer Beetle was something that we all thought was due to be re-released but the Sand Rover will be a bit of a surprise too, at least there will be bodies available again for project SRB chassis conversions :( I'll be at the front of the queue for the R5 Turbo, sure to be a good looker... Glad I didn't buy one of those other shells currently on ebay...

Why M05? R5 Turbo is supposed to be mid-engine RWD. They used to be careful to get the drive wheels correct on the M-chassis cars; what happened?

PS, Tamiya, if you're listening... Golf next. I want to do a Mk1 GTI.

It depends which version of the R5 Turbo they do. The monsters were mid-engined RWD as you say, but there has also been front engined FWD models...

It says its based on the WRC cars so it'll be a ReRe of the 5 Turbo Maxi body.
