It's still a test mule with some basic new bodywork but not the full detail and aero that is due in the next few weeks. Adamo told them to concentrate on the running gear for now.

They don't to me. Maybe in very slow and twisty sections, it is perhaps a bit more noticeable. However in fast sections they are clearly still quick and should be just as spectacular to watch stageside, as with less aero and less advanced suspension they will be harder to drive.
I think the top drivers will notice a difference much more than any spectator will - especially while testing as they are still jumping from the current cars straight into these rally1 test mules. Ofcourse they have to adapt.
The cars sound superb, aren't anywhere near R5 type slow, and still look aggressive to me despite the not as advanced aero. They will only get quicker and quicker over the next 3yrs.

Only a little note to this. I guess that Germany, like many other countries, has an exception for car manufacturers to use plates not registred to particular chassis numbers. Of course normal people can not do that but manufacturers usually have such plates registred only on a company name and used purely for testing purposes.

So experts on this forum say Hyundai is just running a mule which is "current car with new headlights", and Dirtfish says they're already doing a "full rally simulation"...well, DF story could also be just paid propaganda to assure audience that everything is fine, but I don't believe in that personally...
