HPI Racing fans have been eagerly
awaiting the launch of the revolutionary petrol Savage Octane, over
the last few years speculation has grew to anticipation on the launch
date, our last visit to HPI Europe's headquarters back in March, we
viewed the prototype and was assured the model was soon to hit the
market. Unfortunately weeks have gradually turned to months and no
news has been forthcoming.
Today after another visit to HPI Europe
we have finally been given some concrete news. Unfortunately much to
their regret the Savage Octane will not be available this year and is
undergoing more development. Although they are staying pretty tight
lipped on the situation it is clear that they will not release a new
model on the market until it has undergone vigorous testing and meets
with their high standards, which to be fair, is better for everyone
in the long term.
Whether the Savage Octane will ever
make it to market is now to be questioned, we've heard a variety of
reasons for the delays but never any official statement. It is
definitely disappointing as this model has received so much hype in
anticipation of its launch. Whatever the outcome, as ever we will
keep you updated with any news relating to the Octane.
