hmm.....
All I can add is that I thought this was an Invader GT designed and constructed by Bruce Weeks, a plastics technology student. Invaders were built by Autokit Industries in San Rafael CA before being sold to Kaylor Energy Products.
The Invader GT III-E version was built in Spain.

That's because this car DOES use the old Invader body.
But it's not an Invader; it's a car due to be on sale mid-2011!

I've been taking some flak from Puzzlers for not awarding points for identifying this car as an Invader GT.

As I have said before, although this car uses an Invader body it is NOT an Invader GT, and is reputedly going to go on sale later this year.  It has a completely different name which is all its own!

Here are some extra pictures of the same car in case that helps anyone to identify what it is and why it is so different from an Invader:

Is this the electric or hybrid version that has been featured in a few articles?
(You said it wasn't a Mantis, I read there was an electric Mantis too).

It's an electric car - but nothing to do with Mantis.
