That's a Tamiya TL-01 chassis and what looks like a Tamiya Imprezza body.
Good quality stuff and will take a good thrashing.

I've got four TL-01s.
Spent over 600 quid on one of them.

haha ok so im guessing lightweight aluminium everything, batteries, motor, chassis, wheels, ESC included?
I also used insulation tape, on the outside of the tyres on the front, and in the middle on the rear.
All good fun!

It was quite a lot more than 600 actually Tom
I bought a WRC Escort kit for 70 or 80 quid from Beaties, and then proceeded to leave it unbuilt for the next four years while I gathered every conceivable hop up and tune up part I could lay my hands on from all of my local model shops and ebay.
The only thing it doesn't have is titanium screws, and that was because at the time I was ready to build it, the Tamiya importers would have taken another fortnight or more to get them, plus I would have had loads left over, due to the fact they are only supplied in bags of 10 or 20 rather than the correct number and sizes for specific models. They were horribly expensive at the time too. (might go for some and give her a strip, clean and rebuild with new screws to save a few grams now though )
When i'd finished her and took her for a blast for the first time I couldn't get over what an absolute animal she was.
When me and my fellow RC bashers sat down and totted up the expenditure we were rather shocked too.
It had cost me more than four times what i'd paid for the car that it was sat in the boot of.
It didn't realy notice because I had spent the money in dribs and drabs over a long period, but I was genuinely shocked when I added it all up.
She is kind of tricked out
If you realy want, I can list everything.
