2019 JWRC car?
Printable View
This looks amazing. I could say that this car is much more beautiful to eyes (if we could choose by looks) than top machinery.
Here is a datasheet with base technical data. It looks like this time it's no cup car but a first ever top spec. R2T car. Engine with 200 Hp @ 6500 and 290 Nm @ 4000 rpm is promissing that this shall be faster than the existing naturally aspirated R2.

Now we just spot out drivers from their "Training camp" today and tomorrow (5-6 December)
200 hp from a 1 liter engine is quite amazing.
Wonder how much they could take out of it as maximum, not thinking long life at all.
I believe the old Formula 1 turbo engines (from 1980') produced around 900 Hp per liter. But those were qualification engines which lasted just few laps and which were not running on normal petrol (I believe they used high octane fuel mixed with water). They had also crazy boost level.
