Re: PSA R5 differences
Sure the wheelbase is different for both cars (DS3 is shorter). Otherwise I don't know.

Re: PSA R5 differences
Are Citroen and Peugeot normally using same manufactrers for springs and shocks ?
I guess there are drivers that have tested both cars that could say something on drive-feeling on both cars.
Logically the longer wheelbase on the 208, should mean less nervous behaviour.

Fiesta

So aprox same length, and wheelbase in between the PSA twins.

Re: PSA R5 differences
I have seen the Fiesta WRC listed as 2480 mm and the Fiesta S2000 at 2489 mm.
How much can wheel base change on events due to rock impacts etc?

Re: PSA R5 differences
So how will differences feel for drivers?
Just focus on 27. Full focus. No new manufacturers will come before then, and no new ones will come if clear new regs aren't settled for 2027 by the end of the year (latest first few months on 2025)....
