Quite many probably. List of last weeks WRC (pre-17) starters is also quite good indication. Some of whom have severla cars. Yes, you can say that old WRCs, S2000s, even R5s are fading away, because for the same money a faster/all in all a more better car is available, but...im pretty sure that today is the time, where (fully) internal combustion rallycars aren`t going to get faster. An a use for them can be found amongst privateers, be it stagerallying, RX, hillclimbing or whatever.

I have no clue about the credibility of either this website or story, but if it were true could be cool to see...

Gross is the exception and a pretty sad case , buying a 2017-spec WRC to beat the others in R5's.
Renting a WRC for a WRC event is ok but how many have done that ? One or two.
And we were talking about the future when WRC is hybrid, so no more 2017 cars will be allowed in those events. And ditto WRX.

And those shoppingmalls full of German flagships with soccermoms...super-/hypercars touring around Monaco. All pointless and unnecessary, but... just pure jelousy i believe.

The upcoming FIA World Council on Friday, June 14th, should unveil the future of the WRC and the possibility of hybrid technology landing on world championship rally cars.
FIA Director of Rallies Yves Matton confirmed that several manufacturers are interested in this project for the future generation of WRCs scheduled for 2022.
"The project will be submitted to the WRC commission and then presented to the World Council. The goal is for next generation WRCs to be hybrid. This concerns the brands present, but also others ... They are at least five, "said Yves Matton in AUTOhebdo.
The former director of Citroën Racing also spoke of other perspectives on the future of the world rally.
"The current regulation of the R5 has made its success ... However, we can not say that more or less long term, it will not be done also in R5 ...", added

Citroen don't have money to build another car. Except if Ogier will leave the team.

Citroen doesn’t depend on Ogier to build a new car; they depend on PSA board will to continue in the WRC and so far the signals are positive. Besides, Matton already said that the new cars will use a mild hybrid system, in association to existing WRC tech, to avoid expensive developments. The FIA knows that's the only way to keep current manus and get new ones into the series.
