Well, either did they put the real figures, but as far as I know a R5 should be around the 300bhp margin (New cars)

Yes but the picture and the website advertises R5 and 350 BHP for real R5 is bullshit.

What is the output of a new Fabia, C3 or i20 Rally2 today on hp/nm?

No-one in the market to buy/hire one will take any notice of that 'claim'.

I almost prefer that to the more common 275/280 figures the manufacturers publicise. Everybody loves an optimist...! :D

Maybe the 350bhp is a maximum depending on the state of tune that is required/allowed.

350 bhp is impossible for R5 and a complete nonsense. Period.

Fully agree!

Is 300 hp and 450nm far off the truth for a Rally2 upgraded car?
