Joćo Barros possibily will debut R5 on Rali Viana do Castelo next day 25.
a quite long time ago i read somewhere that subaru was thinking of building an R5, maybe it was just a dream?
anyone knows about that?
Yes, that“s true. There were some rumours about Subaru BRZ. Also somebody from Eurosport said that as a fact in some kind of interview last year. Anyway Toyota is buildind rear-wheel drive T86 R3T. Either it is first step of development the R5 (and there are a lot of possibilities, because Sub. BRZ and T86 are identical cars) or that“s all we can expect from that project. Anyway I am looking forward to see RWD Toyota 86 R3T.
Where did You read that GT-86 would be R3T? It doesn't make much sense. In my opinion it will be R3C.
Sorry, my mistake, Mirek is right, R3C. Anyway something really good.
will it possibly be able to get the speed of r3t? better on tarmac, or good on loose surface too?
cool car, exiting too see it raceing!
Subaru BRZ/Toyota GT 86 Can't be made into an R5. The engine is mounted so far back and low down that 4WD is impossible. Only way would be a PTO or maybe a hybrid type 4WD system.
Although not all Group A cars were 4WD (BMW M3, Sierra Cosworth 3dr), it would be mad to make a rally car with two-wheel-drive in this day and age competing against 4WDs.
You are right however the talk about R5 was connected with new STI model (first time different car than Impreza).
I hope they do, but I fear the new WRX will be too big a car for rallying
so far M-Sport has sold 46 Fiesta R5

I am a bit sorry to hear that the PSA rally division is being less prioritized that Touring car. You should think that there are separate teams, and that PSA has resources to do that!?
it really is a nice looking car. Reminds me a lot of the 206.Quote:

Why not use the BRZ? It has looks as a winner!
As it was already pointed out few posts back the BRZ has so placed engine that it's impossible to drive front wheels.Quote:

The Peugeot sounds a lot better than the Ford but it is still lacking some low down aggression in sound and performance. Still no anti-lag?
The rules for R5 don't allow direct by-pass of air to the exhaust. That limits the anti-lag function because all air must go through engine throttle valve.Quote:

Hmmm, I suppose you are suggesting it was an engine from the RRC/WRC development car tuned to replicate the power of an R5 engine?Quote:

Some people say there has been (at least) one prototype of Fabia II WRC/RRC developed in 2011.And as RS said, it could be that "old" prototype.
The car did exist for sure.Quote:

Maybe VW leant Skoda a Polo WRC engine in exchange for Skoda lending them two Fabia S2000 last year :)
