I think it's safe to assume that the manufacturers haven't paid for licences from the manufacturers, so none of the cars carry the correct name. However, I think you'll find that the car to the left of the mini called a 'Land200' is what you're after.
Simply right click on the images to look at the file names, and you'll see what I mean about the names. The nearest is the TT, which is called an 'Auldey200'

Found with mine I need to have the turbo battery in place or the car doesn't run for more than 5 secs so must be a circuitry thing. Still haven't found enough space to use the turbo yet tho

Oh and the headlights are well bright, I nearly blinded myself when switching them on right in front of my face thinking they were gonna be really low powered, err I was wrong! Brake lights and indicators are cool too.
Next mod is wireless video cam taped to roof (have seen tiny ones on the net) - and my creation will be complete, CLAM CAM RACING

The stopping is more to do with the batteries used (it's an alkaline thing), so I'm told. As I understand it, you shouldn't really have to have a turbo battery installed.
One Guy collected his lights/turbo/gearbox/wheels DIY kit yesterday, and all I can say is
I'm afraid it was way past beyond my 'lump hammer and gaffer tape' skills.
I've got a few orders which didn't arrive in time for this order, so if anyone still wants one, please mail me at josh@qlsltd.com

Hi Josh
I am getting NI-MH 1500 rechargeable batteries tomorrow and am using duracell today. Why do the duracell ones have problems without a turbo battery? Will the ni-mh ones work then ok with out the need for a turbo battery. It would be handy if they do as its a bit time consuming taking the battery out the turbo each time, I tried leaving it in and thing got red hot after 15 mins and melted the writing on the battery!!! so took it out promptly!!!

I have been asked about the tight fit of the AA for the turbo. The TURBO USES A 'AAA' battery, as per my postings/emails.
Bravo,
Please call me on 01908 507878.

Mrs T-S is doing donuts on the wood floor as we speak (with the car 
) - great fun, cheers mate.
Handy that my Fuji Finepix charger takes 4 x AAA batteries too

Thanks a lot for your effort in this - received my Impreza this morning and it is the best 15 quid I have ever spent. It is standard but still goes well enough to have fun on a smooth surface.
All I can say is if anyone has a marble floored fireplace, clear it of all clutter and enjoy. Was doing some great donuts tonight til the batteries ran out (they were old ones though). Just replaced them and it is great. Realy like it, and the controls are better than I expected.
I now fancy an upgrade though as i cant get it sideways enough.
Can you upgrade a standard model Josh, or does it need to be done by a supplier (i.e. lights etc)?
Once again thankyou Josh for the prompt service, and I was well impressed with the packaging you did as well.

23' x 11' shiny wood lounge floor with not much furniture on it, great fun - you can do donuts, and wheelspin in reverse
Gladys (err, sorry, Josh
)
The standard car is pretty good, but then I don't know what a turbo one is like!
