    it's hard to tell how much exactly you need to pay to upgrade 2013 Fiesta to latest spec, as anyway during that long period of time you need to do engine rebuild, change some parts, etc, so then you rebuild it to newer spec, change parts for Joker ones, etc.
    You can upgrade one of first Fiestas from 2013 to latest spec, Evo2 engine, all the Jokers, etc. Chassis is the same. Otherwise new homologation needed. I did some WRC rallies with one of the first cars with all the latest upgrades, so FIA scrutineering people think the same...

    Fabia R5 with engine upgrades, perhaps sounds slightly less lazy than before: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=vU_yt9Kj-dI

    C3 is impressing on its first outing. Shows it is on par with the best R5s on asphalt. So was the DS3 when it came out.

    Next test to see if the C3 is following the Fabia and Fiesta on gravel/snow as well. I hope it does, to get more diversity in car choice for the drivers that aims for podiums!

    You may, I don´t know and those who know won´t tell

    M-Sport are running out of old chassises, they have no other option than build new one...

    It would be reasonable to expect the Polo to be at least as fast and possibly faster than the Fabia. After all it will have the same engine, and probably other parts but I guess VW will have been able to further optimise some stuff Skoda could not do just with jokers.

    Sure but on the other hand the Polo is really big for an R5 car. Its size and wheelbase might not be ideal.

    I´m not familiar with dimensions, so compared to C3 and new Fiesta, is POLO how much bigger car ?
