XRAY designer Martin Hudy shared a picture of a prototype 1/8-scale electric on-road car to social media earlier this morning. The stylized photo mimics that of the press images used by the brand for press releases and new product introductions, suggesting the Slovakian brand's entry into the newly-created category may be close to production.

Included in the photo is the top plate, fuel tank and steering servo of the nitro-powered RX8, suggesting that few changes were needed to install the speed control and upright, transverse-mounted dual shorty packs in the center of the chassis with the electric motor directly behind.

More information is expected ahead of the vehicle's public release.
