Corally HMX touring car prototype

Dutch company Corally are showing of their latest touring car prototype called the HMX. Due for release in October there are no details available yet for the car other than the final version will differ slightly to the one shown in the image. But looking at the photo the stand out feature is the aluminium shock towers that see the tops of the shocks mounted on the ends using a ball joint, presumably allowing the angle to be adjusted using shims placed under the ball. More information as we get it.
