And we have seen nothing of the Polo, Yaris or new Fiesta yet. I presume they are already all testing but one would expect to have seen something by this stage.
The closest I've seen to a release date for the new Fiesta is a quote from Motorsport News from Paul Bird, British (formerly World) Superbike team boss and long time M Sport privateer WRC customer, on returning from a two year drug ban earlier this year. He said: “I’ll have an R5, but I’m going to wait for the new shape to come out at the end of 2018. I’ll use the Focus [WRC '07] until then. I can always hire a car.”Quote:

It seems like they were using similar front suspension solution as the tarmac spec C3 WRC.
It didn't last long with the Hyundai...
Certainly no wow effect on asphalt. I don't know but in this video it doesn't look good to me.Quote:
