Skoda has engine with more torque than Fiesta

How big is the difference?

I still only saw it get up to about 180 in Estonia, although it was still pulling whereas the Fiestas seemed to be running out of puff at about 165-170.

Is the Proto car 1.6T? Isn't it still 2.0 like Evo?

Also You can't use active center diff from Evo in the R5, in fact You can't use any diff there. It's more things and I am pretty sure that R5 car doesn't use the Evo drivetrain.

The Evo doesn't have an active center diff (if we are talking about the road car... If it's the rally car I would agree with you).

If I am not mistaken the Evo X road car has two active diffs - central (ACD) and rear (AYC). Front is I think Torsen mechanical one.

Dimviii knows, I´m sure.

its exactly as Mirek described for a road car.A road evo(gsr versions) has active center and rear diff,and a torsen front .At grN evos you keep the center active diff but you change the rear and the front with a plated one.
grN evos are from ''rs'' edition evos.
rs editions from factory have torsen at front,active rear,and a plated rear which they replace for a stronger ralliart plated diff,as at front diff.

Are you sure?

I am like 95 percent sure that the Evos 3 through 9 does not have a center diff. They have a transverse layout with the engine feeding the front diff which then sends power backwards to the rear diff and sideways to the front wheels...

And yeah I think it was from Evo 4 or 5 that they started with torsen diffs front...

I know this because I've looked into the Evos pretty heavily. I want to one day in the future convert a small hatchback to a permanent 4wd car that can handle a bit of power (no haldex nonsense) and the engine and transmission spin the right way and has the right layout for the Evo 3 through 9.

Have I missed something in the drive line. I've looked at so many drawings and photos (but not taken it apart myself yet tbh) that I should have seen a center diff by now.

Is the engine in the mirage R5 a 2ltr evo engine, "shortstroked" to 1,6?
I think i read something on the drivetrain once that it was based on evo, but maybe i mix with something.
