Yes it is confirmed by the PSA engineering chief Alain Raposo. The car is in Peugeot Sport hands now and it will be full electric as the Hybrid powertrain being developed will only be used on the next generation 308 GTI and bigger cars.

Pretty interesting interview on the future strategy of PSA.
Thanks for the link. It seems PSA future strategy isn’t totally decided and it may evolve according to EU future rules. I still can’t get how they’ll launch the 208 without a top ICE version, especially once that 208 sporty EV won’t be ready before the end of 2020 and they got the 1.6 Pure Tech immediately available.
Anyway, if they want to keep their involvement in rally they must get ASAP a R2 car (maybe around the 1.2 Pure Tech), before deciding on their future R5. Probably in March (Geneva show) we’ll know more about all this.
Have anyone seen any news on the Proton homologation?
Postponed again?

Proton planning some APRC events and selected WRC2.
Also the Iriz is the only R5 homologated in RHD - useful for the Asian market and Ireland.

Homologated in LHD too?
