The rest of the program will be decided later.
Soon Volkswagen will have a 1600 turbo engine in the market, in the new Audi A1 S1Quote:

If I'm not mistaken WRC engine currently tested in Fabia is race-purpose unit built by Oreca.
But the engine built by Oreca could be based on the future engine that wiil be on Audi A1 S1.Quote:

The 1.6 T engine you are refering to is a diesel.
The WRC regulations says that “the nominal cylinder capacity of the car equipped with the kitQuote:

By this I see a smaller cylinder capacity engine than 1600 cc is allowed in WRC but I think you meant that 1400 cc would have been the max capacity.
Yes, very seriously.Quote:
