Haha, nice response.

If only the Berlingo was called “Jump”...

Reminded me of this:

Not bad! I look forward to more WTCC content here, while not excactly underrated the series needs more attention.

I think they use the same 45mm restrictor, but they get a weight reduction. Don’t have the regulations in front of me right now so might not be 100 % exact.

No point in using the Euro style Civic from a marketing point of view, even if it would’ve been more effective. This is at least smaller than the new US hatch. And hey, I like variation!

They can use both, but a 2.0 is generally preferred.

We need more coupes in rallycross

This will drive circles around the Type R.

Here ya go:

An interview with OlsbergsMSE CEO Andreas Eriksson earlier this year said that they were working on a new project behind closed doors. Seems like this is it, and that would imply that the cars are built at their headquarters in Sweden.

Just wait until you start driving on the right side of the road. Then you’ll get Vauxhalls.

I bet they are even pronounced differently across France.

You haven’t considered that they might have learned from the 508 RXH, knowledge they might implement on a new drivetrain?

Those 300 hp “minivans” usually are quite large and heavy as well though? The 0-100 times are usually better to compare when talking about a cars performance.

Yep, more mid-size I guess. About the same size as the Opel Insignia/Buick Regal.

I’m just stating that the business connections are there, and that they might use it for their initial dealer network?

The biggest car (not counting vans) they produce at the moment is the 508, by US standards a small sedan/wagon. There the 1.6 Turbo produces 165 hp. I must admit that I haven’t tried that one, but they say that it does 0-100 km/h in 8.9 seconds, only beaten by the 180 hp diesel. That should be quick enough for 90 % of…

PSA has worked together with a number of manufacturers currently offering their cars in the US, so that might be a way to get into the US market?

Damn, that is pretty detailed, great work! Would have used it if I had an A3 printer and hadn’t already filled out a Google sheet with the series I follow..
