Just nearly.
I think the car looks more balanced. They put battery weight exactly where it should be. However you don´t see any travel of center of balance (?) when braking. And also looks VERY heavy in suspension when landing.
So, to me looks slower, but we´ll have to deal with it in the future..."Reis vas pät pat kaar vas kut"

Here we go again judging car performance from test videos, and even from very early tests. Also good to remember that likely the drivers won't drive it as hard as Ogier or Tänak on a pre-event test because wrecking it would delay the development crucially.
When you say it looks heavy on jump landings, remember that suspension travel has been reduced for the new cars.Last edited by AnttiL; 30th April 2021 at 08:28.

btw, the new cars will use R5 engines. where current R5s get their engine? from the production base car and then they tune the engines for racing? what new engines the current Polos (privateers) are...
