I think it's a rs4,It's obviouslly a car,Truck's have big wheels,ground clearance and look like,,,trucks.
 
I don't think it's an RS4.
Looks like an older car, or a knock off. Like a smartech or something like it.
 
I'm guessing a rs4 from the way it's all mounted and the engine,The engine looks to be like the standard FE i think it is.It's 3 belt setup i think,Can't tell since the picture kinda sucks.

PC, If you could get better pictures,we could probablly tell you what car it is.
 
It looks like the fe nill hpi had, but I dont think that is hpi. Reason being I dont remember the rs4 have a sideways mill. Their mill are usually parallel with the chassis.
 
Danny the HPI RS4 and RS4 2 had side ways engines like that. The RS4 3 was the first to face forward for HPI RS4s.

Looks like a knock off of a HPI RS4 to me.
 
I'm thinkin Tamiya, based largely on that canister exhaust. It might be an earlier HPI. Either way, the $20 for shipping (at most) would be worth it.

I can't say for certain, but it almost looks like an older Schumacher.

Might be a long shot, but it looks a little like this:
