No idea - but how on earth is is meant to go around corners.

I would guess it is a drag racing car (or slot racing!)

And the point goes to dzima1985.

The car is powered by a mid-mounted, turbocharged NSX V6 engine.

In a previous incarnation, this car was also called the CRNSX by Mahdavi Motorsports.
