Thank Mark!

The full-specification 1.6-litre Ford EcoBoost turbo engine being flown out to Spain for the car’s next major asphalt test. http://www.maxrally.com/news/entry/f...eal_next_week/

Did they not use the 1.6T engine last week ? But like you mention might not have been 'full spec' one....

It was 1.6 for sure. The sound was very different to 2.0 ;)

Yes, it was 1,6 engine but according to Mikko, it wasn't the direct injection model which is to be used next year. Now they're going to get it.

True..on tarmac one can see a slight difference between the power of the new Fieasta WRC and the old Focus. Fiesta reminds too much S2000 on tarmac. Should be more aggressive :S

Shortly put: New T1.6 WRC's needs more power!

The sound is, no launch control anymore?
