Rally2 (ex-R5) News

[A FONDO]

Mparts from Sweden is building a Mitsubishi Sapacestar R5 from scratch, with blessing from Mitsubishi.
It is for now ment for national homologation, but that might change.
Plan is to have it ready for the 2014 season in Sweden!

Sounds interesting. I deeply respect such people with ideas and courage to do something else than buy the hyper-expensive "official" cars.

Spoke with Kosciuszko today about differences between Fiestas R5 and RRC. He said RRC turns better but R5 is little bit more powerful

What means "turns better" ?? Can it be just bad setup?

You’re driving a Ford Fiesta R5 for the first time. What are your impressions of the car?

“It’s a very good car, with a strong engine and five-speed gearbox. You drive it like a Group N car, not sliding as much and you approach the corners not at such high speed and more in a straight line. You then need to throw the car in the corners but you have the power to exit.”

Spacestar is fifteen years old MPV, it must be other car...

I think Sulland it's talking about the new Space Star/Mirage/Colt

Mitsubishi Space Star 2013, urbano y prestacional :

The article is in spanish, but it's just to show the photos! At least here in Portugal the car has a small engine with just 80bhp!

Story about it in a swedish motorsport magazine. Engine from Lancer Evo, i don't know the english word for it, but they reduced from 2.0 to 1.6 Sadev gearbox and Öhlins suspension. And as Sulland were saying, for now only national homologation but in the text it says only the drivers seat differs from FIA required homologation. Price will be 1.250.000 SEK (143.000 Euro)
