Carisma launches M40S 2.0 chassis with Honda Civic Type R (FL5) body
This is a genuinely new Carisma release with clear launch framing (unveiled, specific price, ARR designation), but it falls squarely into the 'historically NOT covered' bucket for this brand: a high-speed on-road GT3 racing platform with a non-licensed-crawler body (Audi R8 LMS GT3 touring/race car). Carisma's newsworthy pattern on this show is rally RTRs, licensed crawler body sets, micro crawlers, and 1:8 scale sports car models — not on-road race chassis. Per the major-brand kit range (40-70)
