It's not a real S2000, but an Argentinean S2000. Nearly all mechanical parts are standarized and the engine isn't a 2.0 but a 2.4 standard engine done by Berta ;)

Stephane Prevot has told that he will navigate Chris Atkinson on 6 Asia-Pacific rallies and 6 IRC rallies, in the Proton. Proton had planned 8-9 IRC ralies, so we will see other drivers too in the Proton?
Proton will do a maximum of 8 since I don't think they are going to Canarias and afterwards there are only 8 left.Quote:

Maciej Oleksowicz will drive in the European Rally Championship (ERC) at the wheel of a Fiesta S2000. He has already confirmed 4 rounds: Rally 1000 Miglia Rally Croatia (if not canceled), the Rally of Poland and the Rally of Ypres. He will also participate in other 4 innings but he has yet to decide.

Croatia rally is not cancelled..
Daniel Oliveira will contest a total of 10 Intercontinental Rally Challenge events this season in his Stohl Racing-run Peugeot 207 S2000.
The 24-year-old from Brazil hadn’t planned to compete again in the series until the Ypres Rally in Belgium from June 24-26. His next event will now be Rally Islas Canarias from April 29-May 1. The only events he is scheduled to miss are the rounds in Sardinia and Czech Republic.
Manfred Stohl, Oliveira’s team boss, said: “We always wanted Daniel to concentrate on getting experience, not results, because he still has a lot to learn. Doing these extra rallies will be good for him.”
Carlos del Barrio will partner Oliveira on Rally Islas Canarias. The Spanish veteran has extensive experience of the asphalt event, which Oliveira will be tackling for the first time.

Engine is based on a Honda 2.4 liter, the intention is to create a more robust engine wih less maintainance with same performance (due to higher cc).
I personally do not like the trend, as it will separate our cars to international scene. Currently local temas are very competitive worldwide with Lancers and Subarus N4.
