    Corsa R5 - I like the sound of that. Maybe RML could develop it as they have 1.6 turbo engine to use with any GM manufacturer (i.e. their WTCC engine can be used in GM cars other than Chevrolets). Or is the GRE ineligible in the R5 class but still eligible for RRC spec cars?

    I think they got things wrong when they anunced the R2 Adam! It says in the article that the car will have a 1.6l Turbo-charged engine!!! Doesn't R2 cars have to be 1.6l normally aspirated cars?

    No, you´r wrong. That's for 2014 for the new Corsa R3T and R5.
    The Adam as 1.600c.c. natural aspirated engine with 145hp.

    More photos from Opel Adam R2

    "Ab der Saison 2014 greift Stufe zwei des modularen Rallyeprogramms, bei dem der Adam gemäß FIA R2-Reglement zum Einsatz kommt. In der technischen Grundkonfiguration stimmt das Fahrzeug mit der Cup-Variante weitgehend überein, der 1,6-Liter-Turbomotor leistet in dieser Ausführung etwa 190 PS. Für Aufsteiger lässt sich die Adam Cup-Version auf R2-Standard aufrüsten"

    For what I understand from this (with google translate) is that the car will have a nearby R2 configuration for 2013, with the 1.6l atmospheric engine with 145bhp, and a R2 configuration for 2014 with a turbocharged 1.6l engine with 190bhp!!!

    Yes, I am more optimistic about it. I know about this project for few weeks. The biggest problem for international homologation is that they dont have ideal engine for R2 in Adam portfolio, so they have asked FIA for excuse. But the most important is that Opel wants to go into Motorsport...

    Original text in german:

    Ab 2014 greift „Step 2“ unseres modular aufgebauten Rallyeprogramms, bei dem der ADAM in der R2-Version zum Einsatz kommt. Die technische Konfiguration – Frontantrieb, 1,6-Liter-Saugmotor – ist in der Basis identisch mit dem vorgenannten Triebwerk, wird aber den spezifischen R2-Anforderungen mit entsprechenden technischen Feinabstimmungen angepasst und leistet etwa 190 PS. Für „Aufsteiger“ lässt sich die Cup-Version übrigens problemlos auf R2-Standard aufrüsten.

    Autonews Magazine » WRC » La Ford Fiesta R5 en janvier et la Peugeot 208 R5 en juillet - Fiesta R5 will be homologated first, 208 R5 halfway the year but I don't think we'll see any in competition next year...
