Abarth
Peugeot.
Abarth
Abarth of course !!!
I think they already have done some tests with turbo, but I am not sure.
Id also guess Abarth as they seem to be the most motivated towards the new WRC regs.
Skoda
Give me the options and I will add a poll ;)Quote:

BTW, with the brands that already have a S2000 car, I guess Abarth should be te first one! Probably they built a Bravo car, or something new... the Punto racing years starting to be too much, I guess!
AbarthQuote:

Of the S2000 boys, my vote went to Peugeot, even if I have heard Abarth has tested turbo already. The french are usually more structured than the italians.
Skoda is also on the move these days, and could just continue a small engineering team to continue on the drawing board, now when the 2000 car will go into live rallying and production mode.
But PSA Sport is a mighty organisation, and they will end up with two rallycars - the 207 and the new C3 !
Seems like Abarth is leading by a mile. Can anyone that know people inside that org, check their status, and plan ahead ?
Holden? :p :
Hmmm,you forgot an obvius one,Subaru in Group NQuote:

Škoda (I know the title says today but it is almost sure)

Mazda

Thanks for that guys, you are amazing in that respect !
To me it's obvious that a constructor making already S2000 will homologate the "S2000+" in first ;)
So Fiat, Peugeot, Skoda, Toyota, Proton, MG, VW,...chose between one of them :p :

Well, when I said VW, was with one intention!
I know, that a motor strutured to Race in a racetrack, it's not the same than one made for rallying! But FIA, don't show the new rules yet... and VW as power because it's a big constructer... so I guess it's kind of obvious that FIA must do their will! The cars will have a bit more power... and lack of technology than a actually WRC Car, so the way to get them controled... it's to increase the width!
BTW, the motor of the Scirocco GT24 it's a 2 litter turbocharged, with 320 bhp (the same expected to the S2000+ class), and have 1870 mm of width, for a 1120 kg body... just attache a 4wd trasmition and rear wing "206 look-a-like" and this car seems a pretty S2000+ car for me!
I skecthed up something using the photoshop!
Scirocco in S2000 (circuit) spec, new team in Swedish STCC.

Car is build by Volkswagen Motorsport
More here:

biogas, 1998 cc Turbo! 285 hp, 300 Nm
I believe in Peugeot at the WRC and Citroën at the DTM from 2010 and sincerily hope that Ford, Fiat, VW or Skoda and a asiatic team (Toyota???) could join the "lions" :s mokin:
PS: Bino a maqueta do Scirocco tá imp., só falta um patrocínio do sportmotores ;) ; Rodrigues, suponho que o teu pedido ao Pai Natal é mesmo o regresso da Subaru... :D
Peugeot
Ferrari.
