I found this in an old R/C Car Action, dated March 1999... I have never heard of them. I was wondering if anyone has... Here is a pic from the magazine.

I thought it was kind of unique with the exhaust exiting out the right hand side (passenger side if you will) I only noticed it because it was next to a review of a Midnight Pumpkin.
 
You would be surprised of how many makes there are out there. It's was nice to have had the chance to own several different models.
 
These cars are made in Italy. I have never gotten anyone to reply to me. From what I hear there is no one who knows english there ? Sounds strange to me, but ... I met one of the guys at an I-hobby show a couple years ago, & have yet to be able to contact anyone about them. By the site, I'm not sure they support the 1/5 scale models any more. The add shown, I would say, was from the Canadian dealer.

You very well may be right... This is from an old magazine clip...
 
Just found this too. I read in places how they are discontinued. The MK5 was like a sport model & there was an MK6. The 6 was like an FG comp. model.

SVM Crono's current production 1/5th-scale car, the MK5. Available as a complete ready-to-run kit, the MK5 includes absolutely everything you'd need to race besides fuel, and is competitive on the track out of the box. You'd expect to pay a ton for this, but the price is better than anything else we've seen. A new generation of the car, the MK6, is just around the corner.
 
There was a boat load of these on ebay about 4 months ago. The model was discontinued from what I read. They went from $300-$600 at auction with all alloy G230-G260's and pipe and brakes. The were a great looking ride but must not have sold enough to keep the line going. The only reason they didn't sell for more is future parts support.:(
 
I seen a few of those too. I, so considered buying one. Parts support was a key, but I watched one go for like 240$ on Ebay. I can make new parts if I get one that cheap. It had 150$ shipping though.... Hummmm.
