Dependant on program conditions, the single scroll turbocharger to get more energy, or the twin scroll turbocharger for greater reaction can be selected. The suspension system, the same as compared to the production automobile, contains independent McPherson struts with coil springtime on the front side, and separate multi-link with coil spring regarding rear.

  Winner for the 1998 World Rally Championship, Finland's Tommi Makinen and Belgium's Freddy Loix drive this proven device. Makinen chalked up third place regarding Telstra Rally Australia, clinching the 1999 FIA World Rally Championship. Triumphing for an amazing 4th successive year, Makinen enjoys the longest reign inside history of the WRC.
