NOT sure if AWD or FWD yet. We should know more today. Curious how this thing stacks up against an STI and Golf R. Two great cars in their respective classes.

It will have over 300hp as the previous version had 300hp I believe so this should have more.

It also WON'T be AWD, in one of the spy videos it turns and pitches in 3 wheel motion..it'll be FWD for sure.. We'll know in a few hours

Could have been a mule. They run mules of these cars in every configuration.

I've seen Evos and STi's pulling a corner. AWD could still be in the cards.

Damn if i wasn't buying a 350 this summer I'd be all over one if it is AWD equipped. Be a killer DD

LOL at 3 wheel motion and pitching meaning it will be FWD. It will be AWD it is all but confirmed.

Cant wait to see price. Wife will need a new daily and this would be perfect

Concerning how it will stack up against the STi and Golf R, it'll probably just trail the STi in performance but kill the Golf R.

I'm thinking the same. Will be my daily after the first year bugs and aftermarket parts come out.

According to the PR event today in Germany. It was pretty cool, they brought out all the different RS vehicles from over the years, had Ken Block tearing around in the prototype then finally brought out the production version in the liquid blue paint.

I'm looking forward to this car. I loved my SVTF, can only imagine this rocket.
