The new FIA WRC-car concept 2017

[Mirek]

I have nothing against Your photoshops but it would be better to have them in separate thread as they are pure fiction which has nothing to do with reality.

No Photoshop!

Your Seriousness, I hope my imagination won't inflict deep pain and dangerous wounds upon You with the "fiction" below...

Why the fuss?

CONCEPT!!! WRC photos posted in a thread named "The new FIA WRC-car CONCEPT!!! 2017".

Photoshop is essential part of bringing an idea to life and turn it into a final product - "A dream come true".

I am working on the next part of the answer...

Why the fuss?
because real detailed informative information and images of what is already out there is as difficult as hell to find, so purely dreamed up pretty piccies of your idea of what some car might be like are what is called "fappery" as in fapping--a term which should be easy to understand..
There is of course a time and a place for fappery and fapping..Some can reasonably argue that the huge growth and popularity of first home video cassett players and then the whole internet was to a large degree based on fappery and the desire to fap..
But HERE we are in more need of real solid info, actuality.

Now rather than getting butt-hurt you could have told us what the connection was between the piccie and how you are working on "making the dream come true"..

That might be interesting..
OK?

Yes, it is.

This is, presumably, the originator of the picture answering a question about it https://www.facebook.com/ilovelancia...%3A%22R3%22%7D

Nice as it is, it's not a real car and isn't relevant to a thread about the 2017 World Rally Car Rules.

This time I must agree with Mirek. It Is a photoshop and definitelly it is not SERIOUS concept car. It doesn´t even look like Lancia. It has nothing in common with Lancia design. It is dream of one silly man. If only someone would build his own WRC lookalike car from present Ypsilon or Delta in his own garage, it would be a CONCEPT. This is (ugly) dream of one man with no connection to nice design of Lancia.

This one looks great and it would be really nice if you open a specific thread.

Hoping to not get BANNED here for this suggestion... but.
Wouldnt be a good idea do keep the costs low if for these new 2017 cars, WRC demand all teams to buy a spec and proper roll-cage/bars/structure built (based on all safety needed and size of the cars [that would be simple, they are all hatchbacks]) and the the manufacturers puts the engine and everything in place and then they cover the car with some kind of carbon fiber "bubble"? Kinda lina in NASCAR. They are pretty safety, cheap.. and manufacturers can add their carachteristics to that bubble, even that the cars are all the same
(nascar = all sedans / wrc = all hatchback)
Does it sound too stupid? Sorry for that =P

It was discussed previosuly in this thread (at least I hope it was in this one). Maybe You can find the discussion if You go back. I think it was Lundefaret who brought this idea. There are certainly valid points behind the idea but frankly I don't think it would make WRC cheaper. The carmakers have dedicated budget to spend and they spend it all no matter what the car regulations area. It's costly not because of technical regulations but because it is the pinacle of the sport.
