Not another SUV, please. Even worst, it's a "coupé" SUV!

It's an EV. That gives the answer itself. Nobody sane would try to promote sales of an EV with a CE rallycar.

I know it’s fashionable to bash Coupe SUVs but to me this still has more of a Coupe shape than cars which are called coupes just because they have three doors (Hyundai i20, BMW 1 Series etc)

Although as Mirek says it wouldn’t make sense to promote this in WRC (even though it would be possible with not-proper-rallycar Rally1 regulations.

It looks like a slightly curved brick on wheels and it's about twice as high as coupe shall be.

i posted on the other topic, havent seen this one, but they are openly saying this is an electric race car based on that electric fabia they were running in austria. fia wants an electric class in rallying asap. i started to mentally conecting the dots with that "excitement emoji" skoda posted on social media when the new rules started to be debated - which included rally2+ kits - (they can do if they want) and an all electric class.
