Higher torque on the R5... fantasy?

[Mirek]

Oh yes, this statement is pretty much nonsensical in every possible way and it shows that the author doesn't know much about what he's writting. He just coppies some BS presented by some other guys with no knowledge about the stuff (PR department).

The result is an output of 285bhp compared to 300bhp for the WRC car but there’s an increase in torque from 295lb ft in the WRC car to 310lb ft in the R5. That should improve flexibility slightly and make the R5 easier to drive.

It seems a bit low, but if that €180.000 price indication it's correct it'll certainly have a strong impact on R5's market.

Pedro Burgo, one of the spanish drivers invited to test the i20, said it has a better engine than the 208's he use to drive.

Btw, PSA R5's did well in Madeira. I don't know if Fontes (Sports & You DS) is already using the Evo kit, but Camacho had one on his 208 Delta rented car. He earlier complained about the steering, but after some setup adjustments he was more at ease and managed to get on the win fight with Magalhaes (Fiesta Evo from P&B Racing) and Fontes.

Fontes used Evo kit. Major giveaway is that the radiator and intercooler are tilted backwards, whereas on the old version they are tilted forward. Also, on the Evo DS3 the air intake opening is removed from the front bumber's emblem area, and now it's in an identical layout to the 208.

Biggest difference is size of radiator and intercooler, angle of their mounting is not that much different, also intake area is very similar, as bumper is exactly the same. On fast stages it's not that big difference in temperatures, it makes difference on slow and twisty stages, with high temps.

Fiesta R5 of P&B only have mechanical EVO, old chassis.
