I like the half-zebra livery and green wheels (actually I'm not a fan of colored wheels at all but sometimes like with the red rims of Abarths S2000 I make an exception). I would be very happy if it stays like this.

Any technical points to note from the photos alone Mirek or nothing significant to see?
I note they have the cut outs ahead of the rear wheels (as on the 208), I presume this is to aid airflow and cooling to the rear brakes.
Also the front bumper is quite intricate with the channel to the side of the lower radiator exiting ahead of the front wheels. Is this for cooling something or even for aerodynamic reasons?

The lettring "Skoda Motorsport", on the doors, will be covered with the plates of certain rallyes.

Luis, this is design only for Essen motorshow, design for next season will be probably different ;-)
Visit South Moravia. It is the real paradise

Suzuki could make a reasonable R5 Swift with a 1600cc turbo engine for the Asia Pacific area.

this has nothing to see with R5, it's something to do drift show as does Block.
