So there is no centre differential for Citroën. It seems to be the trend nowadays. Also a in hose designed cylinder block and head.

gotta say the Redbull livery looks great on the DS3 better than it did on the c4 IMO

**JakilSong** · 10-05-2010, 11:57 PM

Hope to see that colours in the Mini! It makes more aggressive, IMHO

Both Mini and Ford use production based engine. I'll try to find out about Škoda/Seat.

Thx for the vid.
That was pretty quick, short and fast. Even the camera man's bones were shaking.

Any idea who was the driver ?

Sebastien Ogier tested today and will test tomorrow, then it's time for Loeb.

**girlsround** · 10-06-2010, 03:54 PM

far better...looks like proper rally speed.

**Karpattaisp** · 10-06-2010, 04:40 PM

Luckily it looks to be fast. It sounds like lawnmover though.

**irrelaAnnekly** · 10-06-2010, 04:53 PM

Does anyone know what kind of power these new cars will have compared to todays 2L turbo? I saw that one engineer was speaking about that they thought it was possible to get the same power from the 1,6 as the 2 some time in the future.

**Xiciljed** · 10-06-2010, 05:51 PM

The white livery looks so awful. I always think why aren't they using their normal livery during testing. Same words about Ford. The testing videos are always nice but those white cars look always like someones dirty shoes:-P

the power of the new cars will be the same as the old ones 300-350 bhp.

Citroen are apparantley refusing to sell Solberg a car unless he signs a long term deal as they think he will bugger off and tell another manufacturer all their secrets! Ford are just as bad however as they wont sell any Fiesta WRCs until 2012 at the earliest as they think their secrets will get out...
