im not paying much attention to these news but someone said - as a joke - that this is a cupra built on top of the polo r5 the same way the lancia is a lancia built on top of the c3 r5 haha.

And the Cupra again seems to be basically the same VW MEB platform as Ford uses for the Explorer and Capri

How many times is need to write that the Lancia is not a C3 based? C3 is other platform. The only thing developed from C3 (apart know-how of Citroën/Stellantis) is the engine.

I really wonder what those tuners expect and how they finance themselves. This is no dig against them, but I just don't see how they can be competitive and finance themselves long term

I listened to a podcast with Vaclav Pech, who drives a C3 in Czechia. He said that when they went to look at the car, no one made a secret of it. The only significant difference he mentioned was a 2 cm shorter wheelbase and a few lightweight components on the chassis.

For some strange reason a reminder of another short lived "formula" from the FIA popped into one of my feeds yesterday. I know this was supposed to be production car based however feels like a portent of things to come in some ways:
