I kind of have the opposite view, the Citroen sounds like an old two stroke motorboat engine under braking, Fabia to me sounds quite good now at full pelt:

All R5s to me sound better than old GrpN4 cars or some 2L WRCs, but of course not as good as the current World Rally Cars.

These cars are just "homologation specials" of the current WRC cars which don't yet have any hybrid elements to them. We don't even know if i20 and Yaris will be used in the 2022 regulations, since larger model bodyshells could be used, Hyundai could want to promote the Kona as a hybrid model etc.
EDIT: not current WRC cars but what would have been the WRC cars in 2021Last edited by AnttiL; 12th November 2020 at 08:27.

Calm down Of course I know there's Yaris hybrids, but it's still not known whether they choose to go rallying in 2022 with that or some other model, since it can be chosen now more freely.
When they started designing the Yaris GR, the 2022 rules were still up in the air. In fact, they were designing things for that car with specifically the now-cancelled 2021 WRC car homologation in mind, not the 2022 car. We could even see all Yaris GR's being sold out before the 2022 WRC cars are out.

Well, the i20N is just a hot version of the new i20, nothing to do with the WRC.
If Toyota and Hyundai want to promote hybrid (performance) cars then their GR & N brands should be doing so more than their WRC entry. But for their newest performance models they are sticking with petrol. This does nothing this promote hybrid to 'petrol-heads' or encourage them to switch...#M-SPORTER
