Are these plastic wheeled cars? I saw no mention of aluminum wheels.

It's a lower cost model. You can upgrade to better parts if you desired.
Reminds me a lot of the Fly Kremer.

The Slot Forum review said the wheels were plastic, but the splines on the axle were straight. That means you can remove the wheel (very carefully) with minimal damage since the wheel won't be reamed out. I really like the idea of a good, basic tunable chassis with a well detailed body. Having a flat pan gives tuners a lot of flexibility. The power issue doesn't bother me at all since a well tuned Slot.it, NSR, Scale Auto, Black Arrow, can never reach full potential on home tracks anyhow.

In the article he wrote:
The effectiveness of simple adjustment, treatment and upgrading needs to be explored - so, stage two; up to the club for some leg-stretching laps to compare the ScaleAuto around our six-lane analogue Carrera circuit. The first thing I did was pop the axle out and test-fit a couple of Fly brass axle-bushes into the chassis - they snapped in perfectly, so I decided to rebuild the axle in the car, putting in a couple of thin washers while I was there, to reduce the rear axle play down to about 0.5mm. Removing the wheels from the axle to get rid of the original plastic bushes was a lot easier than it can be with Scalextric or similar, as the ScaleAuto axles don't have knurled ends, but feature something more like splines. So, wheels off and axle back in the car, spacers and wheels back on (with a smidge of contact adhesive for security), adjust for width and play then leave to dry for 10 to 15 minutes. After popping the entire axle out again, I was able to put the whole assembly into the club RSM machine for a careful truing before heading off to the track.
So I suppose I am taking it as they are plastic.

And this was to be a SRC release, but they bought the rights to produce it. I knew that chassis had a familiar look to it.

I like the Scaleauto slot cars I have and I will probably get one of the home series cars, but not this Porsche as it has never been a favorite of mine (just personal taste). So I hope they produce some other cars soon in this series.
