And then we say that almost every engine developed nowadays has a turbocharger, using technology derived from cars like this. Technology that's used both to reduce emissions and increase power (=efficiency).

Would love a package deal on a GT86 and a Land Cruiser!
This is the Jalop version of sheep jumping over a fence. Will try to put it on if I can't sleep one day.
Citroën C4 Cactus
Rallycross the most enjoyable segment for me this time. Impressive that they've managed to keep this one-off race secret since before Christmas last year!
Yeah, I've considered to buy new stiffer dampers as well, but the previous owner fitted new original ones so it's not really necessary. More comfortable as it is now.
No problems keeping up with modern traffic, and everything feels very direct. No power steering and a rather heavy brake pedal takes some getting used to, but everything seems tight and firm. Easy to shift gears despite the long gearstick. I have an aftermarket smaller steering wheel fitted (from the 70's), that might…
That's one incredibly classic and desirable car! Not the most common colour either.
To prevent this old beauty from rusting, it's only a daily driver during the summertime here in the cold of Norway. I've had it for two years now, and the only problems has been some electrical issues. A failing capacitor caused the breaker arm in the distributor to be shut at all times, stalling the car. While it's a…
The R8 Gordini also had two fueltanks, one in the front and one in the back. That way rally drivers could adjust the weight distribution while driving, just by the flick of a switch.
Wider tires? The first rally was a snow rally, so no need for wide tires before this rally.
There was a test on these when they were new, where they pitted it against the Outlander Turbo and the Cayenne Turbo on a frozen lake. The Forester turned out to be the fastest.
Watched a highlight video from 1990, and already then they were mentioning that because of better suspension the cars were just as fast as the Group B cars. The Group A machinery was just a lot easier to drive, and a works Celica from the 90's should be well ahead of a works quattro.
Magellan would be perfect for either road trips or rallies, so long as you don't run into a guy named Lapu Lapu. With old Ferdinand, you'd never get lost.
There's actually been an Up! GT concept. Not sure if it will get into production, but doesn't seem unlikely. The R-badging seems to be reserved for AWD cars.
He could use it in a parallell parking competition?
You're a tad late, Stef: http://rallytakeover.kinja.com/watch-anders-g…
Well wouldn't that 4WD car be a homologation special? Very few manufacturers make small 4WD cars today.
What, to keep manufacturers from entering the WRC? In the current economy, regulations are fine as they are with some tweaking now and then.
Could mention that he will also run four events in the WorldRX, driving a Polo Supercar. I guess his goal is to race every model provided by VW.
