Get back to Earth, sir. These "4WD" systems are nothing but a part-time support. 99% of time it works as simple FWD. The only reason why they want to use it is that it's cheaper than Haldex etc. For rallying in current state of development it has a value close to zero.
In category 5, most cars are DS3 R3T and Clio R3. Can the Abarth 500 R3T be as fast as the French cars?
DS3 R3T is 210 HP, 350 Nm, 1230 kg, Abarth 500 R3T is 180 HP and 300 Nm (because it is only 1400 ccm), but 1080 kg!
I haven't seen anybody who tried the Abarth on a WRC event.
DS3 R3 is much stronger. 210 Hp is with stock fuel I think. I heard it has around 230-240 Hp. Abarth 500 is a cup car, not so developed as DS3.
abarth 500 has the problem of short wheelbase + narrow track + the construction of rear suspension is not made for gravel and rough surface. so I think even if the engine would be as strong as ds3 r3 it would no chance.
Thank you guys. And how is the 500 compared to a C2R2?
