On the Skoda they have clearly done something a bit different and the power delivery is quite violent even from low down the rev range. I believe that is a big part of the reason why the Fabia has been such a successful S2000 car.Quote:

Although Proton has best torque and power on lower revs vs. Skoda, the torque of Proton is high which suggests that Proton has a narrower torque band.
For Skoda I think Mirek could have some more up to date information.
Yes, I think Skoda are being rather modest...Quote:

Yes, only Bouffier and Sarrazin. I think, Solberg has a plan to test in January.Quote:
