On the outside, not so different from the current ones.

“These high voltage electric systems, from a safety point of view they can give big challenges. You have to control the people in the stages where they can touch the cars. We have to consider the logistic matters of transporting the high voltage items. It is very difficult and expensive compared to the current system,” Tommi Makkinen from Toyota Gazoo Rally Team said.

It's still hard for me to see how will they take the cost down to half a million euros with the hybrid system when the last generation cars cost the same and they were very 'back to basics' approach.... Imho it is worrying..hopefully they'll find the best solutions...

It's worrying because they predict one more manu get out because of that.. instead getting in...

If they are making the cars so much cheaper (or plan too), is it really realistic to expect performance to be the same as the current spec cars like they are aiming for?

More difficult to drive, less options for development and setup. Also the tuned up R5 engine could mean more engine failures.
