This car is also too big for being a successful R5.

If I pretend you never said that it won't be true

Nice and "violent" off the line...

I notice they are timing the tests. I thought it would just be endurance stuff at this stage. The programme must be quite advanced already.

Does anyone know if they have been taking a Fabia S2000 to the tests so that they can compare?

Just another video of Lappi, but in the darknes this time.

Thanks for the videos.

Of course they also want to test how the car works in the dark.

Subaru was building R5, but as far as I know, project is stopped now.

On which car was the project based?

Cool, proper rally car sounds

Something doesn't add up to me, is homologation really not until 01.01.2015??

Nice to see some Finnish jumping in the dark. It looks like something special Good that Fabia sounds like WRC car. It also looks really powerful in the videos but of course we don't know how much real R5 it is.

Well you for sure know more than me and most of us on here... but I can't see the point in doing testing with a car which does not comply with the rules?

Especially as they seem to be doing performance testing, so it can't just be testing the durability of the engine or gearbox can it?
