Looks like the old WRC VII with the VIII wing.

 

This is kinda OT to the thread but how much HP does the WRC car have to the wheels? (I'll even take a crank extimate if you have it)

 

WRC cars usually have right around 300bhp due to the mandatory intake restrictor (I think it's 34mm) they have to run. I believe they can make tons of torque, though. I seem to remember seeing 500+ ft.lbs. figures somewhere.

US ProRally cars have a larger restrictor and I think they make in the 400hp range.

 

thats one bad *** car.

 

Looks just like mine!

 

s4.....i love the way your evo looks....what wheels are those??? nice nice nice ride.

 

Thanks. The wheels are the Enkei WRC Tarmac Evo. You can check my profile for all the specs.

 

That evo was at the La Auto show last year.

 

You sure? I don't think that picture is from LA. Look in the background, you see a 2004 Lancer. Those weren't out yet.

Yes, it does look like a 7, but there are very big differences from it. I think this is something new and not the SCCA car that was shown last year.

 

I dont think the pic is from LA either, but I remember that car from when I went last Jan. i"ll try to dig out a pic when I get home.

 

The picture is from the 2003 Tokyo Auto Show which was three weeks ago. So the car is new.

 

Yeah, you guys are right......wrong Evo...

yep..notice how there is no white ppl in the pic

 

The SCCA car had the Evo VIII bumper, so this is definitely the WRC model, they even have Kristian Sohlberg's name on it, and he is on the roster for Mitsu's 2004 WRC season. I suspect that they'll change the bumper before monte carlo to match the VIII, makes more sense from a marketing standpoint to have the car resemble the current model.
