The mixed wheel color is stupid because in real life thy have to switch front/rear wheels often. Not speaking about spare wheels on top of that...

Probably they will provide some paints and brushes to the crew when it comes to change wheels. It adds time but it will be relaxing for them ;)Quote:

Three cars on every round for @HyundaiWRC in 2016. Nandan talks of Sordo, Paddon and Neuville in that order...
In fact yes! Carlos Sainz with the Delta in 1993 used white and black rims. It was not in all the rallies though.Quote:

Good looking rally car, poor looking livery.
Will be good to see it test in a plain colour without any camoflague..
The car looked much better with a blanket on it before the presentation, ugliest design on a WRC car since.. ever?
I don't know why so many world rally cars use all those different colors and shapes. I think that if it is ok with sponsors a car would be great with only one color (and maybe jsut another one only for little details). This will also help people to recognize themself with that car and that brand.
I don't know who of you said that Tanak's Dmack car should be all bright red, like the "D" of Dmack. I totally agree, red is the right color (passion, blood, fire) for both Tanak and Dmack team, and it is also in Dmack logotype. When I read it I imagined how would be the car like that and it would be fantastic IMO.
I think those kind patterns with dozens of shapes and colors would not even bring more attention to sponsors. There is too much "noise" in there and it's distracting for the eye.
So am I the only one who likes it? I'd even say it's the best looking at the moment
You're not, but there are also people who don't really care about colors. The car just needs to be fast.Quote:

But strange that there is no large logo for Hyundai themselves .. do the public all know who makes an 'i20' ..
At first I also thought it was ugly, but I think that hideous orange wheel is very deceiving. If they use all 4 black rims, I think it looks quite good:

It looks quite clean, with about 60% blue, 30% black and 10% orange. Not visually busy at all. Way less busy than some recent Ford and Citroen liveries. I just hope they ditch the orange rims.
i quite like it.Would like to see it with white rims?Can you do it Formaldehyde ?

The back looks nice. Without over-doing the red it would actually be a nice car. Just some small edit, leaving red only as accent color and giving it white wheels. 3 dominant colors is too much.

I agree whit you, i like this livery better than that of the 2015 I20.Quote:

I just hope Neuville is back on top in 2016, Paddon can confirm all the good from 2015, ans Sordo is fast in some rounds. Also hope that the team wont switch drivers to fast, one bad result schouldent mean your downgraded to second team.
Still think they wil let Neuville start in A-team for Monte, he still was best Hyundai driver in the standings in 2015. If you look back further than one year it would only be right also.
Is the car is that much better than, mayby we can see some real VW challenge.
And I would like to see it plain white :p
I'm joking. I just have some kind of fetish for those plain white cars which just went out of the manufacturing :)
Anyway I really like the shape of the car. Maybe most of the recent WRC cars (my favourite 1.6T till now is pre-facelift Fiesta WRC).
To me, the front of the car doesn't match the back in terms of styling. The back is really nice and aggressive, the front is very bland and boring.
Compared to the old car it is a huge improvement, far more aggressive and purposeful!Can only hope it goes as well as it looks in testing, and can at least give VW something to think about.
me too same opinion about design.Quote:

They will need to keep some of their brand Identity still though... The wheel arches at the front are still very wide, but the lights and general 'shape' are the same as the road car. All the others do the same.Quote:

Is it just me or is that a really weird place to do a demo run of a new rally car for the press?Quote:

BTW, Colin Clark was on Periscope from the launch, and stated the different wheel colours are just for show at the launch, in case any of you were worried...
His results at Monte don't exactly look good. He has only finished once in the last three years and was beaten by Mads Ostberg in the process... Bring back the French tarmac specialists I say!Quote:

Have you driven a top spec Santa Fe yet?
Hyundai doesn't fit my scene or demographic. In Australia, Hyundai's are still cheap but great value and I don't deny that at all. It's just not me.
me too! i think the computer made photos look horrible, looks amazing on real photos like hereQuote:

Those are not longer build to last or as well built as the E190D :D.
But then again brand is the most important thing in our markets.
For your information, the studio photos are not computer generated but are the really car. Same as done last year for promotional purposes. You can even find out what camera and settings they used.Quote:

I especially dont like that white stripe design over the rear wheelarch.. really spoils the flow of the bodywork... :(
Will be better to see the proper shape of the car in a plain test livery.
They can paint it hot pink or dark brown. As long as it's quick and can bother the Polos I will be happy.
Will be interesting to see how it photographs on the stages though.
Also the black part behind the front wheel should/could be orange, i think than the orange wheel would be nice.Quote:

they should have had the same paint on the doorhandles, it doesn't look good like it when they're black..or it would have looked better if they were the same colours..
