Team Hotwheels have revealed its Ferrari F1 Hybrid engined LMP car during a shakedown test at the Suzuka circuit in Japan.

The new car, whose chassis is a development of the US built HPD ARX-01b, is running an LMP version of the new Ferrari F14T hybrid powerplant.

The car will use a six speed transmission, as opposed to the 8 speed box found in the F1 car. There is a long way to go before the car is fully tested and ready for its first outing at the TORA TEC Le Mans race, although the team is confident that the car will perform well on its visit to La Sarthe.

The team are currently in the process of securing some world class drivers to exploit this new car during the rest of the 2014 TEC FM4 season.

Interested drivers should contact the team manager to arrange a test.
