    I saw the proton many times as i worked at Prodrive. I believe it was the only one made. The gearbox was part of a program that involved Skoda (octavia) and Seat so they all shared development costs . I built most of the Skoda boxes with a colleague and did a lot of work with the Seat too.

    I was present at Goodwood 2006 when the McRae R4 was first shown; I recall there being plenty of attention to it from both the public and other drivers. In fact I've read Petter Solberg managed to reserve the first production model for himself whenever it would have been produced! A travesty that we lost Colin and his wonderful project to provide a car that was inexpensive, versatile, and supported younger drivers getting into the sport. I believe the only example is owned and preserved by his father Jimmy McRae; it would be great to see it out on active display again someday.

    Everything I have read about Group S says that the engines were intended to be limited to 300 hp to reduce speeds to a manageable level, so we never would have seen the crazy power numbers here in real life.
    In a way the class morphed into World Rally Car; with the 300hp limit, and low homologation numbers so car makers didn’t need to produce a turbo 4WD model to compete.

    The Audi Quattro RS002 looks like a circuit car, maybe for Le Mans.
    Maybe if the Group S was not cancelled, WRC cars would be like this Audi.
    The Colin McRae R4 looks like a mini Group S.
    Thanks for this video.

      Buddy14 Previous Johan’s Polo is now driven by Sondre Evjen in EuroRX (still Kristoffersson Motorsport Team)
      Of course, RX cars don’t need to have been WRC’s before, and there is many cars that are proper builds for RX.
      But for 2018, with the Diesel Gate, VW retired from WRC.
      So they looked for a cheaper championship, and created a Factory/Private Team the VW-PSRX(-KMS) Team.
      VW bring their WRC car with some 2018 Evo spec, and they together convert it.
      That’s also why these cars have their radiator on the front.

    Could any one sue FIAT for destroying Lancia as a brand and technical and design-wise phalanx?!?
    The S4 was already obscene, but the ECV ... who would not like to see it in drag races against F1 or motorcycles?
    Just as a german rally driver (don't remember who exactly) said: the S4 acceleractes like a motorbike, in any single gear.

    • @strahinjastevic7480

      You cannot sue FIAT for what they do to their own assets. All these conglomerates make cars to sell and hence make money, they sell whats profitable or dont sell it at all, lancia was owned by fiat even before all the rally shenanigans but i guess when they left the wrc the promotion through it of the sporty models ended hence the demand plumited and they decided to just make whatever of the marque.
