Golf Mk1 (aka 'Rabbit' to USA) was designed as a replacement for the beetle people's car... and became an immensely popular model in Europe and rest of world. Given that Tamiya had not released any 'sedan/sports' type RC cars lately, the lightweight nylon uprights of the updated F1 'CS' were grafted onto a new FRP chassis with aluminium radio tray to create this pocket rocket racer. And yes, they borrowed the RM1's servosaver too.(Description originally entered by Pandabear)
