Car/engine seems not to have much grunt at this stage in development although Juha may have been just shaking down the car. Only near S2000 performance from what we've seen so far. Hopefully it'll be near or at R5 performance level in the next month or two.

For me it looks like the car only has a 1600 NA engine. No power like WRC car on the videos.
Still so early to say... It is a different level, but did you know the 208 R2 was doing practically all development tests with an engine that had 20hp less than the actual engine used now?
Nope. And I don´t put anything special in my comment above, because as you say Peugeot did, it can be many reasons why they dont put WRC-engine in while testing things at the moment.Quote:
