You mean just racing car, not usual one?
Fabia VW - the fabia they drive in the WRC
Fabia Skoda - fabia they drive in the IRC/ERC
is it possible that vw plan to make a rrc also? on these pictures they have the s2000 wing:

They must do the S2000. The homologation of WRC car consist of two things:
1. S2000 1.6T car
2. WRC Kit (can't exist alone, it's only few parts to add to the S2000 homologation)
yes, but as they actually test it i think it means they want to use/sell/rent it. citroen more or less simply detached the wrc wing and called it s2000 1.6T for homologation and never ran the car really.
It's not that easy. For the homologation You must have certain number of parts physically available (I think 10). That means if WRC Kit consists of new flywheel, wing, front bumper, side windows and front brakes You must have everything ready in both S2000 and WRC variants prepared before homologation. You can't homologate the S2000 only on paper. Once You homologate it You must sell it if someone orders it. I think that hardly some team would go to the FIA court complaining about that but theoretically they are obliged to make everything homologated available for customers in some reasonable time.
Since the interview in GP week mentionned that they use the Fabia to compare with the Polo WRC in order to judge how close they are to the other WRC cars, I could imagine they try to run the Polo in S2000 configuration or at least without the wing to see also how it compares. I imagine it could be useful to pinpoint where they need to work on to improve the WRC spec Polo.Quote:

Seems almost like that was just a PR stunt on the first test making it sound awesome cos i haven't heard it like that since then.Quote:
