It's bigger turbo (from WRC), bigger restrictor, different mapping, WRC rear spoiler, etc

How different are the PSA-twins, technically?
Do they share cooling system incl radiator, or are there differences?
Apparently they share the radiator...

I presume the Fabia R5 in this guise will never be rallied and is just a test mule? I wonder when we'll see it testing in 2015 model guise, as the new Fabia looks a bit different then the outgoing model: http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/ne...d-paris-reveal
I expect we will see at least one official photo of the new Fabia road car before the end of July, and then I expect they will start public testing of the R5 with the new bodyshell (probably in some black-and-white disguise livery)
Maybe they'll show us the undisguised new R5 either at Barum or the Paris show?
Actual plan is to show the new car at show in September (Frankfurt?).

It says they took a penalty for smaller radiator,is this correct? I mean when i start reading the article i thought it would say that took penalty for bigger radiator because they face overheating problems.
It doesn't matter if it's smaller or bigger. There are dimensions with tolerances and if some is out of tolerance it's illegal. Simple as that. And in fact it was NOT smaller. Homologated dimensions are 450x326x36 mm. The frontal area is 146700 mm2. In case of Kruuda and Chardonnet it was 451x330x34 mm which is 148830 mm2, i.e. 1,4% larger frontal area. Anyway the tolerances are +/- 2 mm to A and B and +/- 1 mm to C dimension. In that case B and C were out of tolerance.
Frontal area is in my opinion more important than depth with the radiator. Anyway it's useless semantics since there are rules clearly given black on white and those were violated.
First evolution of radiators were made with OK dimensions, but they were cracking... second evolution which is stronger is not fully legal it looks

I feared the sound would become more 'sensible' as time went on, but we do still have some pops and burbles at least.

So the new Fabia looks like this.....

Looks good, very Polo like. Can't wait to see the bodyshell of the R5.
Is this what they have been hiding so many years?! It just looks like a garage imitation of the Polo.
This is VERY OLD photoshop...
(actually combining Polo and Octavia)
Sorry, my bad. I have been mislead by an online magazine. When will we have the reveal then?
Official live presentation will be in Paris in early October I think however I hope they release pictures before Barum. I still hope we can see the real R5 there as a zero car although the hope is small.
When does Tsjoen receive his 208 T16 :confused:
